    I would like to know how I can open only .MP4 files from a folder inside FFmpeg Batch AV Converter.

    The question is: I have a standard template of folders where I download videos from my camera, so my idea is to add a .bat file to this standard template so whenever I want to generate Proxy files I simply click on it and the FFmpeg Batch AV Converter already open point to decode.

    I created this simple script that almost solves the problem:

    "C:\Users\MyUser\Downloads\FFmpeg_Batch_AV_Converter_Portable_2.8.3_x64\FFBatch.exe" -f "%~dp0\"

    The only problem is that it adds the camera XML files as well and that makes me have to click "clean invalid files" every time.

    What would be the best way to do this?

    Hi, this scenario cannot be achieved with current version, it would need some development.
    Maybe in the future.

    Right, but I believe there's a way for me to trigger the "Remove invalid items" button through a command line in a .bat file, right?

    If so, what command would that be?

    Thank you very much for replying.

      No, there's not yet a parameter for that.

    This would be very interesting, think of a workflow where a person always needs to create video proxy files and has a default folder template with a .bat file inside that folder. If it were possible to give a command to pull only the MP4 files from the folder or to clean the invalid files from the encoding list, everything would be extremely simple, it would simply run the .bat and the proxies would start to be rendered.

    If you can implement something along these lines in the next version I would be very grateful.

    I used scripted FFmpeg for quite a while to get this job done, but when I discovered your software I was impressed, it does much more than the script I developed and shows the estimated render time.

    Thank you for your support!

    I'll take it into account for next release.
