Comskip Support Forum

Hi Eric;

I'm trying out VAP (a program that operates like DVRMS toolbox just with less functionality and a GUI) and I'm noticing that when it calls comskip a DOS window shows up with comskip running. Is there a command line switch or something that would make it run in the background without that window appearing?

Thanks!

I don't know VAP but as comskip is a plain DOS program it can not hide itself.

But instead of running comskip.exe you can use a small script (call it comskip.vbs) to run comskip itself
WARNING: if VAP needs more arguments to comskip you need to add them in the example below
The first argument is WScript.Arguments(0)

Start as: wscript comskip.vbs "file to process"

Example comskip.vbs
--------------------------------------
CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """c:\program files\path\to\comskip.exe"" """ & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False
