@justinsblack If you read the first paragraph of Jeremy’s post, it says, “[The Windows Batch file] requires ImageMagick, so make sure you have that first.” Then there’s a link.

I don’t use Windows, so I can’t help you with the FFmpeg install. But here’s a link that might help you.

@justinsblack Your Windows environment isn’t able to find the programs needed to convert the video file (i.e., identify, ffmpeg, montage). Did you install ImageMagick and FFmpeg before you ran the batch file?

I added two new options to the bash script: force and verbose.

Previously, the script printed an error if an output directory already existed. Now, -f will tell the script to overwrite any existing output directories. This makes it easier to redo conversions when needed.

Previously, the script always printed out what it was doing plus any error messages. Now, it will only print error messages unless you provide the -v option.

I created a bash script that does the same thing on OS X. It should also, in theory, work on Linux.

If you find any bugs, please let me know via my GitHub repo.

Jeremy, I also added your batch file to the repo as a point of reference. I hope that is okay.
