Features

The utilities of the Virtuosi Digital Video Processing Environment all share a common set of functionality provided by source code templates and a modular support library. This basic functionality is generated by a Windows Script Host application wizard which provides handlers for optional and mandatory command line arguments. The framework supports short mnemonic aliases for named arguments. Programs generate standard errorlevel responses to problems during validation of arguments, file paths, file structure or ActiveX component loading.
