I too was in contact with the makers of Burning Bush Software in regards to command-line options and the response was to sell me their enterprise version for $200. I have done some preliminary work on an Autohotkey script to automate the "Bif Video file Creator 2.exe" but I have kind of lost interest. I was testing with a smallish mp4 until I got all the kinks worked out but here is what I made so far and maybe you could help with this because I did document the hell out of it and it should be easy to follow:
clipboard = C:\dvds\SAMPLE MOVIE FOR TESTING.MP4
file = %clipboard% ;Pass the working filename
title = BIF Video File Creator 2 ;Main application working title
close = Confirm Remove Items - %title% ;close program window title name
app =
(Join
%A_ProgramFiles%\
Burning Bush Software\
BIF Video File Creator 2\
BIF Video File Creator 2.exe
)
Run %app% ;Executes the bif creation program
WinWait %title% ;Wait for the program to finish loading
WinActivate %title% ;Bring it to foreground
SetControlDelay -1 ;Slow the clicking down
ControlClick, Add File(s), %title% ;Click "Add File" button
WinWait Open ;Wait until the Open dialog window appears
WinActivate Open ;Bring it to foreground
send %file% ;Types in the filename passed
send {ENTER} ;Press ENTER key
WinWait %title% ;Wait for "Bif Video File Creator 2" window to exist
WinActivate %title% ;Bring it to foreground
ControlClick, Check All, %title% ;Click "Check All" button
Send {TAB 6} ;Press Tab 6 times to put focus on "Bif Thumbnail Size" listbox
Send {Down 3} ;Press Down arrow 3 times to select "320x180 HD 16:9"
Send {Tab 1} ;Press Tab once to put focus on "Start" icon
Send {Enter} ;Press Enter to start bif creation
WinWait,, Process Started
WinMinimize %title% ;Minimize window, this could be a while
WinWait %close% ;Wait for "Confirm Remove Items - Bif Video File Creator 2" window to exist
WinActivate %close% ;Bring it to foreground
send {ENTER} ;Press ENTER to remove all items from list
WinShow %title% ;Bring window back from being minimized/trayed
WinWait %title% ;Wait for "Bif Video File Creator 2" window to exist
WinActivate %title% ;Bring it to foreground
