First of all, I want to say I absolutely love Hybrid, it's the video army knife I always wanted!
I recently started deinterlacing a lot of Digital8 tapes and Hybrid works great, but it (expectedly) doesn't handle thousands of files opened at once - it simply hangs on analyzing them, while consuming more and more RAM. I suppose it will eventually finish, but it seems much slower than opening files one by one. I was able to find the sweet spot by opening ~30 files at once - it's as fast as opening one file at a time, but obviously much more convenient. However, given the amount of tapes I have, even 30 files at a time is a very tedious job.
This is when I discovered the CLI ability to load a profile and start processing automatically - exactly what I needed! This way, I can supply one tape of about 30 files at a time, and repeat for all my tapes. Sadly, the CLI seems to crash on folders - no message given. The same folder works via GUI and its individual files work using CLI. Here's my exact setup:
The test.xml file is all default settings, except I enabled the "Generate" output filename option, and I enabled "Output path to source path". The exact profile can be found here:
https://transfer.sh/htIU3k/test.xml
The folder of videos can actually be anything, I reproduced using this sample MP4 cloned a few times in an empty folder:
https://file-examples.com/storage/fe8c47...0_18MG.mp4
EDIT: Forgot to mention, I am using the latest Hybrid (2022.03.20.1) on Windows 11 x64.
Many thanks
