Hello. I'm writing a program that creates a series of batch operations to convert movies to be used on iPodLinux. The programs that do the encoding and conversions are seperate from mine and all mine does is use os.system() to call the program.
However, it needs to get an input file and an output file. Originally I was using just raw input, but I got adventuresome and decided to try win32ui.CreateFileDialog(). But this will only open or save a file and its output will be either 1 or a failure. How might I go about using it to get the _file name_ of a file. For example. Box appears asking user to find a file they want. They double click on the file. Let's call it C:\Video.avi Then another dialog box appears asking them where to save it. They save it at C:\iPodVideo.avi. Now the Python program extracts the name of these files and then uses os.system() to run: mencoder.exe -[parameters] C:\Video.avi -o C:\iPodVideo.avi Note that I'm not actually inputting the contents of the file, I'm just passing the file name along. How might I do this? Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
