How to use Commands in Batman??

How do u use the commands in batman such as darker1 , test3, etc. ???

Your quality-setting >>> Enter >>> your special-command >>> Enter >>> Enter.

I think (have only tried 'repair' and 'sharpen' so far).

When you drag a file to the batman icon a command window will open, you will see a list of quality settings to choose, type one in and press enter. You should now get a prompt to enter special commands. You will find a list of available commands in the about.txt file in the BatMan folder.

Most of them you just type in the setting you want ie: if you want to use the darker command type darker1, darker2 or darker3 depending on preferences and press enter. You should get a confirmation message that the darker feature has been set and an option to then input another command. denoise and sharpen work the same.

For volume and delay, work a little differently, you type volume press enter and then type the setting you want and press enter again. The same with delay.

Once you have entered all the commands you want just press enter again and the video should start encoding.

alright, thanx guys

one more question, how do u convert more than one file at once?

Just drag multiple files to the icon or if all the files are in a folder you can just drag the folder to the icon.

Hi Superman.
You can drag and drop any combination of files, folders and subfolders onto the BatMan icon on your desktop. They will all get converted. Take a look at the screenshot on BatMan's Homepage (you can also go there by typing "hp" in the main menu ).
I have made it so that everything should be clear by carefully reading what's on the screen. And there is a help function you can evoke with "?" that lists the special commands.

I know a point-and-click adventure is easier than that, but if you take a closer look at BatMan's history you will see that it uses only very basic batch commands which have no capability of graphical interfaces. That's why it appears a bit unusual to you. Most of the people who know Linux or still remember the glorious days of MS-DOS will have an easier start with it.

EDIT : just uploaded a version with faster file handling, check it out.

BobbyQ,

I just tried version 7-22 and I get some errors "echo off" or something...I couldn't get through the menu and had to go back to v7-13....

Also, another question, if I want to convert a DVD of tv episodes, is there any way to run multiple titles at once, having each a separate avi? Right now all I can figure is to do each title separately...it would be nice to have all episodes done when I wake...thanks.

it's so strange you guys have problems with the new version .. I have no idea. Please do the following :
1. delete the Batman folder in %ProgramFiles%
2. download the zip again. check if it is really from 22nd of July
3. unzip, double-click the installer
3b. if you have Vista, set admin rights or XP Compatibility mode for %ProgramFiles%\Batman\BatMan.exe
4. drag files to the BatMan icon

there is no way to rip more than one title at once (only possible with chapters). But you can use SmartRipper to rip the whole DVD to one VOB and drag this vob over to BatMan. If you want single chapter, you must use Smartripper in "each chapter a single vob file" mode.
