Topic: Default filename when copying DVD via commandline
started by: bugme

Hi all,

I am trying to copy a DVD by extracting it from the DVD drive and writing the image to disk. The commandline I am using is:

ultraiso -silent -copy F: -output D:\Rips\

However, I would not want to specify the filename, because I am starting the script from within my HTPC (Mediaportal) and do not have the possibility to specify the filename.

Ideally, the Volume label (as shown in Windows Explorer) should be used as the default filename, but if I don't specify it (as in the commandline above) it always creates a file named ".iso" in the "D:\Rips\" folder.

Is it possible to use the Volume label as a default filename?

Thanks and regards,
bugger

Use 'ultraiso -copy F: -output D:\Rips\111.iso' to specify a filename; or use 'ultraiso -copy F:' to let ultraiso to generate a filename in current working directory from label of your DVD.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply!

I have tried 'ultraiso -copy F:' but it crashes with an 'EAccessViolation' if I ommit the -output parameter :-/

sorry for the late reply, today was the first day i was able to try it again.

so, here's what i am doing in the commandline:
d:
cd Rips
C:\Programme\UltraISO\UltraIso.exe -copy F:

==> this causes EAccessViolation and Program crashes and asks whether to send a Problem Report to Microsoft

on the other hand, this works:
C:\Programme\UltraISO\UltraIso.exe -copy F: -output D:\Rips\NEWISO.iso

I am using UltraISO Premium Edition Version 9.0.0.2336 on Windows XP SP3.

Regards,
bugger

Just tested like that, UltraISO works properly.

Maybe it is because I am trying to copy from a Bluray/HD-DVD Combo drive? But then it would not work with the -output parameter either... right?

A possible problem: UltraISO cannot get volume label of your DVD properly. You may try your DVD on another computer to confirm that.
