and just to make it easier for a newbie to understand ;

1. Pls save the bat file on any drive.
2. When you have started the encoding queue on Adobe Media Encoder, just go to where you kept the file, right click and run. I did it as Administrator.
3. Note – Only works for encoding with Adobe Media Encoder. But as you can see, you can quickly modify for any other job.

Marco.

Bro,

I have developed a simple script ( batch file *.bat)) that will check if encoding is still being done ( every 60+ secs ) and if the process is over, it will shutdown the PC. I tried to keep the code very very simple so that others can improve it.

For now , i have tested this on Windows 7 SP1 – 64 bits and it works well.

Here is the code, copy and paste it into notepad – i named it AutoPowerOff-AdobeMediaEnCoder.bat

…..code below ………

@echo off

echo.
date /t
time /t
echo.

:StartMonitoring

echo.
echo.
echo.
color 0f
echo Start monitoring Adobe Media Encoding Process
echo Check every 60 secs via KeepMonitoring

ping 127.0.0.1 -n 60 > nul
Goto Check

:KeepMonitoring

echo.
echo.
echo.
color 0f

echo Continue Monitoring Adobe Media Encoding Process – every 60s
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 60 > nul
Goto Check

:Check

echo.
echo.
echo.
color 0e
echo Checking If Encoding Process Over ?
echo.
echo.
color 0a
tasklist | find /i “PProHeadless.exe”

IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO AutoPowerOFF
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 echo. && echo Encoding Still In Progress && GOTO KeepMonitoring

:AutoPowerOFF

echo.
echo.
echo.
color 0c

echo Process PProHeadless.exe does not exist anymore
echo Assume Encoding DONE
echo PC Poweroff Initiated

echo.
echo.
echo ShutDown PC After 60 sec

shutdown /s /t 60

:END

…. end of code …..

Regards,

Marco.

p.s – posted this in some other thread…
Its good to consolidate. Will monitor that thread.

Awesome bro…Glad it worked…. 🙂

I think this did not come out right…

Premiere pro cs6 can use only one gpu for all the cuda stuff but the other gpu will not just be wasted…. it will be used for stuff such as display scaling , color space conversion etc.

After effects otoh will take advantage of both gpus….

So if you are using premiere pro, i bet you also have after effects on yr machine… so looks like if you can do it, get a sli config. it will be worth it one way or the other..

As for the more cores /less freq against higher freq / less cores, i think you cant really come up with a general rule of thunmb exccept that they benefit from more speed and more cores….there could be some kind of critical balance point but needs proper benchmarking…

It was good to know that premiere doesn’t take advantage of dual nvidia cards.

What about the higher frequency / lower cores against lower frequency / more cores thingy ?
