Hello All, I am trying to run ffmpeg through a DOS batch file with the filenames as long file names but nothing is happening. When i change the name to shortnames that is 8.3 formats it works fine. Can anyone tell me if ffmpeg supports long file names and if what will be the syntax? I am just doing very basic encoding like ffmpeg -i c:\abc.mpg c:\abc.flv Thanks in advance -- Sincerely, ========= Aritrim Basu Hexadesigns (Software & Web Solutions) Westbengal, India 913339584140 http://www.hexadesigns.net

this has nothing to do with ffmpeg, its an issue of your operating system/compiler/libc [...] -- Michael

Can you provide some more detail? Such as: - What did you use to compile ffmpeg? Cygwin? - What operating system are you using? - Can you post the output that the command line above generates? And the output that you get when you use long filenames and "nothing happens"? - Can you post the contents of the batch file that you are using to call ffmepg? - Do long filenames work when you call ffmpeg on the command line?

Hi, What did you use to compile ffmpeg? Cygwin? - it says gcc 3.2.3 mingw special built Mar 29 2005 - What operating system are you using? Win98, My software is targeted for Win ALL - Can you post the output that the command line above generates? And the output that you get when you use long filenames and "nothing happens"? i get teh following error I/O error occured. Usually that means the input file is truncated or corrupted - Can you post the contents of the batch file that you are using to call ffmepg? G:\Encoder\ffmpeg -i H:\Videos\Finals\Commercial - BMW M5 .mpg H:\Videos\Finals\Commercial - BMW M5 .flv - Do long filenames work when you call ffmpeg on the command line? No it is not working, infact i can encode the same when I use a 8.3 filename for example G:\Encoder\ffmpeg -i H:\Videos\Finals\com .mpg H:\Videos\Finals\com.flv This works perfect.

At the very least you need some quoting around those spaces. Otherwise how can you possibly hope for it to work?!?! Rich
