Command Line

Command line conversion works only after gsVideo2ASCII is activated. In scripts, use start /wait so Windows waits for the conversion to finish and returns the exit code.

Deactivate this computer

start /wait "" "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Gardos Software\gsVideo2ASCII v.1\gsVideo2ASCII.exe" --deactivate

Convert one image

start /wait "" "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Gardos Software\gsVideo2ASCII v.1\gsVideo2ASCII.exe" --input "C:\Media\photo.jpg" --output "C:\Results" --resolution 60 --ascii-type 1

Convert one video

start /wait "" "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Gardos Software\gsVideo2ASCII v.1\gsVideo2ASCII.exe" --input "C:\Media\video.mp4" --output "C:\Results" --trim-from 00:00:00 --trim-to 00:00:00 --height 0 --mix

Omit --fps or set it to 0 to keep the source video FPS. Use --height 0 to keep source image/video dimensions. Omit trim options or set both trim values to 00:00:00 to convert the whole video.

Exit codes: 0 OK, 1 command/error, 2 not activated, 3 deactivate failed.
