Retropie Convert Non-functional Videos via MS Windows Via Batch or CMD Line

[kidracer]

Hello,

I read the following thread after searching while trying to figure out why game preview videos weren’t playing in Retropie on my Raspberry pi 3. The thread is quite old so I am creating a new one.

Performing the conversion in MS windows using this method rather than the Pi console using “RetroPie-Convert-Videos”, is so much faster. Then transferring the files using WinSCP. Brilliant and thank you @DTEAM

The only issue that I have is when the videos are downloaded, using the scraper, they are all different heights and widths. When converting, the same height and width size is replicated. I would like to convert them so the output height and width is 296x296. Is there a switch that I can add to the command/batch file?

Cheers,
Richard
