powershell and console app output -

I'm trying to automate video conversion with powershell and ffmpeg tools. There is a detailed output about FFPAP video, if all the phone is called without the assignory parameter, this usually indicates the error and display input file information if I have specified the following command:

d: \ video.Enc \ ffmpeg.exe -id: \ video.Enc \ 1.wmv

This is PowerShear console output

But I can not virtual to capture the output of any kind of how this script and posh objects. I tried straightforward script, wher ps1 file contains the exact expression "d: \ video.Enc \ ffmpeg.exe -i d: \ video.Enc \ 1.wmv" - it did not work. Apart from this, I tried to do it with the avoc command and called for expression. First returns a precise string with one command, the other one - the dump error is not specified in the output console, but for the -rearvivalable (I have set all the variables, not only an error - all of them empty Were).

Can I suggest using a console application in posh and correcting any syntax to capture output?

The second question will be about parsing that output - to calculate the right aspect ratio for conversion, I need video resolution data so it would be good if any capture error output and pars String like

Stream # 0.1 (Impo): Video: how to work with wmv3, yuv420p, 1024x768 ,

redirect the error stream as stdout Try and then you should be able to capture both stdout and stderr in a variable such as:

  $ res = d: \ video.Enc \ ffmpeg.exe -id: \ video Enc \ 1.wmv 2 & gt; And 1  

Try to capture data:

  $ res | Selection-string '(? IMS) ^ stream. * (\ D {3,4} x \ d {3,4}) '-All | % {$ _. Matches} | % {$ _ Groups [1]. Value}  

I'm not sure that $ res will be a string or multiple, but the above version should work for both cases.
