Hi All, i'm trying to setup an encoding session where it automatically starts encoding at a certain time, and then automatically stops at a certain time. I've tried the /start and /stop switches.. the /start switch works great.. the /stop switch opens up a new encoder windows and gives an error (resource already in use)..

i'm using: wmenc mysession.asd /start and then" wmenc mysession.asd /stop..

I've also tried shareware programs (CSscheduler) but it seems as though it wont run on Windows 2000 or ME.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this, or know of another good shareware application that does this? (you think this would be simple to do...)

thanks.

Sounds like when you issue the wmenc command with a session name, regardless of the switch used, it treats it as a new session rather than accessing the existing session.
Try using the /stop without the session name. i.e. "wmenc /stop"

Hope this helps

Richard
