Distributed File Manager > Command-Line Interface

In a similar fashion to telnet, DFM can be operated via a command line. To run DFM from the command line, specify the file name (i.e. DFM.exe), followed by some combination of the following flags and parameters:

/if "fullpath"	Set the path to find image sequence files – this should be the full path to one of the image sequence files*
/in "fullpath"	Full path of windows movie file (mpg, wmv, etc.)*
/of "fullpath"	Set the output path for converted files*
/oft type	7th (currently)
/on "filename"	Override the automatic output filename
/inputimage X Y W H	Specify which part of the image to use.
/ossd	Optimise for SSD
/outsize W H	Override the automatic output image size
/outstart frame	The output file numbering starts with this number (must be divisible by 10)
/stopafter frame	Stop converting after this frame number

* Denotes a required parameter

For example:

DFM /if C:\Frames\Source /ext jpg /of C:\Movies\Test /on crosshatch /oft 7th-444 /outstart 100 /stopafter 1000 /inputimage 0 0 10 10 /outsize 768 768

This command line specifies the following:

All JPG files (matching the name of the first JPG found) from C:\Frames\Source will be converted into 7TH-444 format and placed into C:\Movies\Test\crosshatch_xxxxx.7th files (where xxxxx is the output number).

Only the top left 10 pixel square will be used from each input frame and the frame written to the output will be blown up to 768 × 768.

Output files will start at crosshatch_00100.7th, followed by crosshatch_00110.7th, crosshatch_00120.7th, etc., until either all frames have been written, or the first 1000.
