Think it was Sander who made the Cmpeg3 Windows utility to use as a frontend
to the DOS mpeg encoder known as CMpeg.
Anyway, there was no mention of the creator in the zip I downloaded and my
newsgroups have expired from the date of that posting announcing it.
Anyone know who made it? Sander, was it you?
Well I finally got around to trying it and all it tells me when I go to
Create the batch file is that "paths are not normalized...!" in a little
Cmpeg Shell box.
Can anyone shed some light_source on the situation? I would be most
grateful, really wanted to see it in action.
Will be looking to change my expiry settings for my newsreader in the
meantime, goes by too quickly.

Bob,
Yes, I put that in this ng a week ago.
Not normalized I understood means that the file names are not of the 8.3
type, and the DOS utility CMPEG.exe that is used doesn't process
un-normalized file names.
Now this front end should normalize the file names, why it didn't I don't
know without knowing what you did exectly. But it shows that the program is
definitly not finished.
The whole setup is very preliminary, and if it shows to be of any use, I
could post a newer version that seems to me to look a little more logica in
its layout.
Glad to have the critcism.

Hey, thanks for the response. Actually I like it as is, great thing from
what I can tell so far. Just that the normalized path thing seemed a
strange error. I did use all 8.3 names and even all the folders
(directories) are in such a format too so I was guessing it might also be
that it wants everything in one place instead of all over the drive. I
tried with everything coming from or going to the same folder and it was a
no go also. Only thing left I can think of is that the particular folder I
have cmpeg in has a underscore _ in the name. Will check that out and get
back here to let you know if that was the original problem.

It didn't work, got the same "Pathnames are not normalized..!" error.
Will check on your other version then.

"Path names couldn't be normalized (too long)...!" error message using the
latest Cmpeg3. It must be only something to do with the batch file creation
step and thus a problem with the Windows paths(?).
Here's the batch file creation path I'm using (same place for every other
file too): C:\mpgutil\avi2mpg\testcmpg.bat
Glad you put you're name and email into the program, you deserve to have it
shown. Now if only I can get it to work right! Arg!

Bob,
I found the same error message when I tried the program on my Windows98
machine! So this is all my fault, nothing wrong at your end!!
I think I know where the problem lies. I'll contact you by e-mail - there
will hardly be anything interesting for the other POV-users as long as the
program doesn't work properly.
I am glad that you have tried it out: I made it using Windows NT4 and
stupidly thought that it would be all right also for W95... It's not easy
not to overlook things like that: the difference bewteen an amateur and a
professional, I guess.

Sander

Thought that was what the "pros" always did.
I neglected to mention my OS, sorry, yes Win98 here. Couldn't figure the
connection since I went ahead and figured you were making it on a Win9* system
there anyway (Windows programs made on a NT? Who knew?!) Now that you say WinNT
it's all making sense. Not a lot but some sense.
Hey, thanks about the upcoming email, will be anxious to hear what you have to
say.
Bob

Hi Sander!
I'm usin WIN 98 too and I'm having the same Problem. The Filenames have
the 8.3 syntax but it doesn't work. I would highly appreciate a WIN
95/98 version. Thanks in advance.
