Re: (Windows) Need help with codec settings in Batch Exporter script for WSH

Hi Luc-Eric,

I think there's a subtle problem with the script below: you create a CFObject in the WScript process, load the settings, and then assign the CFObject to a QTExporter belonging to QuickTime Player running in a different process. The QTExporter is unable to load the out-of-process CFObject that you've handed it, and fails with error code 0x80040201.

A workaround involves using an existing Settings CFObject that belongs to the QuickTime Player process without having to create a new CFObject:

        var xmlCodecInfoText = CodecFileInfo.ReadAll();          
        var tempSettings = qtExporter.Settings; 
         tempSettings.XML = xmlCodecInfoText;    
         qtExporter.Settings = tempSettings;

This seems to work for me.

BTW, instead of:

try  {
    CodecFileInfo =  FileSystemObject.OpenTextFile( CodecInfoFileName );
}   catch(e)    {   } // exception is thrown if file not present

you can use:

if ( FileSystemObject.FileExists(CodecInfoFileName) )
{
        // read the file
}


Hope this helps,

John.
