Hi!
I'm creating a screen recorder using FFMpeg.
All works, if i double click a .bat file i obtain a .mkv file.
But, automatic, if i open the .bat file using

VB

Process.Start("Path to batch file"),

the batch file fails because all %% from the .bat are replaced with %. I tried to escape using %%%% but not working.

Thanks!

P.S. I replaced Path to batch file with my batch file path.

It doesn't worked with %% or %%%% because ffmpeg.exe path wasn't

VB

ProcessStartInfo.WorkingDirectory

It was the Project path\bin\debug folder. Sorry for asking without checking the Autos. :D

If the %% gets replaced then why doubling them didn't work?

ffmpeg -framerate 20 -f image2 -i frame%%d.png -codec copy video.mkv

Check the autos.
Check if ffmpeg images folder is the Process.WorkingDirectory.
Check if images are png files.
Check if there are some problems with your code.
