Batch Processing:

You may batch process several DVD projects with GFD one behind the other. The following is to be considered thereby: 
1.  Enough free space on your hard disk! 
2.  Each project has its own output directory AND also its own temp directory (take care for this in the Settings!). 
3.  Since the individual batch files within the respective Mainbatch.bat file are called without path, the "master" batch file (the batch file which calls all the particular MainBatch.bat files) must take care for the appropriate directories. 
Example: 
- Projekt1 gets the output directory "C:\Filme\Volume1" and the temp directory "C:\Filme\Volume1\Temp"
- Project1 is created (films added, menus designed...) 
- Use "Create batch" to create all necessary control files.  These files are then in the directory "C:\Filme\Volume1\Temp"
- Projekt2 gets the output directory "C:\Filme\Volume2" and the temp directory "C:\Filme\Volume2\Temp"
- Project2 is created (films added, menus designed...) 
- Use "Create batch" to create all necessary control files.  These files are then in the directory "C:\Filme\Volume2\Temp"

- Create a new batch file:  Master.bat in the directory "C:\Filme" (with a normal text editor like notepad)
- The Master.bat should then look like this:

cd C:\Filme\Volume1\Temp
call MainBatch.bat
cd C:\Filme\Volume2\Temp
call MainBatch.bat

If you want to delete all files in the temp directory after the processing of the respective Mainbatch.bat file, you must put that into the Master.bat file. For the example it looks in such a way:

cd C:\Filme\Volume1\Temp
call MainBatch.bat
del *.bat
del *.xml
del *.jpg
del *.png
del *.m2v
del *.mpv
del *.mpg
del *.vob
cd C:\Filme\Volume2\Temp
call MainBatch.bat
del *.bat
del *.xml
del *.jpg
del *.png
del *.m2v
del *.mpv
del *.mpg
del *.vob

Remark: Using del *.* will not work, because the system will ask you for confirmation. Therefore the Master.bat would stop at this line.
