ASFChop command-line options

The command-line options allow you to specify a particular setting or include additional files in the .asf file. To view an online listing of the options, from the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, and then click Command Prompt, type the name of the utility, and press ENTER.

Option name Option argument Description
-duration time Provides the duration of the output .asf files. Note: Use either the -duration or -end options.
-eccspan on|off Turns error correction on or off. If this option is not supplied, the error correction setting from the input file is maintained.
-end time Specifies the time when you want the .asf file to end.
-in filename.asf Specifies the .asf file that you want to edit.
-out filename.asf Specifies a name for the output file. If you do not give the output file a name, ASFChop will output the new file with the same name as the input file.
-script filename Specifies the name of the script file to use in adding URLs, script commands, content information, or markers to your output file.
-start time Cuts off the beginning of an .asf file. When you set a start time, ASFChop removes all content before that time. When the .asf file is saved, that time becomes the beginning of the .asf file.

Note

  • Times for any of the options must be specified as hh:mm:ss.t, where h equals hours, m equals minutes, s equals seconds, and t equals tenths of seconds. For example 04:12:28.9 is 4 hours, 12 minutes, 28 and 0.9 seconds.
