    Hi everybody,

    I have some confusing Workerissue. I use Worker 3.1.1. I Want the worker to watch into some input folder, where the videofiles in different formats are. The worker has to proceed the mpeg files in one job and all other files in another job.

    Therefore I use the Conditions Field in Worker. I am trying to tell Worker to take only the clips that have an ending ‘*.mpg’ and ‘*.mpeg’ for a certain job. In another Job I want to exclude this formats.

    I have tried all combinations, but nothings seems to work for me.

    ‘*.mpg’ , ‘*.mpeg’
    “*.mpg” , “*.mpeg”
    *.mpg , *.mpeg
    ‘*\.mpg’$ (with regex checked in)

    The only option where it works is :

    *.mpg

    so only one format (without any execution characters).

    Does anybody know the way?

    I want to include: .mpg and .mpeg
    and to exclude: .dv, .flv, .mov, .mp4, .avi

    Thanks for any advise and regards

    Leo

    You need to use a regex. Try the following:

    .*\.(mpg|mpeg|m4v)$

    You could also try searching for “mpeg” in the Video Format field, but it’s more efficient to match on the filename rather than opening the file as a movie.
