directoryconverter.js errors
I have this “directoryconverter.js” from some time way in the past. I’m trying to run it in V Pro 8 and it errors out. Any pointers?
Error:
C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Pro 8.0\Script Menu\Misc Scripts\Directoryconverter.js(180) : Deprecated: Please use GetInvalidPathChars or GetInvalidFileNameChars instead.
The script:

* directory. To change the input directory, output directory, and
* render template, edit the variables below.

I have no idea what all that is saying or for what purpose you
would need such a script…..otherwise i see NOTE!!! This script requires Vegas 4.0c. then clearly it is not compatible with

Correct, it appears to have been written when V4 was the current version, so I’m sure the developer put that in as a disclaimer/clarifier.
Someone out there who knows js should recognize the error and know what it’s talking about, and THAT’s what I’m looking for. Else I would be able to solve it myself.

Proxy Stream can do the same job:

That script is from the Sony Script SDK. Just download the Script SDK for Vegas Pro 8.0 from the Sony site and you’ll have the latest version.
