Title: MVE2AVI help
Post by: Dark Hunter on January 10, 2006, 10:26:36 pm
Apologies if this is in the wrong section.


I just downloaded the MVE2AVI program from karajorma's FAQ, and i can't seem to get it to run. I know its supposed to be used via command line, not simply double-clicking it. However, if I try to do anything with it in Command Prompt (if that is not the same thing as command line then I feel really stupid.  :sigh:) it says "fps.exe is not recongised as a blah-blah, operable program or batch file." Am I doing something wrong with where the 'fps' file (my computer recognizes it as an application, though not a .exe file) is put, or is it the way I'm imputing instructions via Command Prompt?

well, it seems to me that you're trying to run the program from a different foler than the program is located in...

The easiest way to do it is to cd your wy to the folder it's in, and use it... but persoally I'd make a .bat file and let it do it itself...

Yeah, you have to make sure you're in the right directory first.  The dir command tells you what's in your current directory.  cd\ takes you back to the root drive.  cd .. takes you up a folder.  cd [something] takes you into a folder.
