Capturing exiftool output in C#

[bradbradbrad]

I'm running a script in Vegas, and I'd like to start a new process to run exiftool for gathering exif data. It doesn't seem that vegas plays well with the idea of launching the exiftool wrapper in C#, so launching a new process seems to be my best bet.

I've tried several different ways of redirecting standard output to my C# variables, but no luck.

Has anyone tried this or done something similar?

Did you see the two C# wrappers here?

Hi Phil,

First, thanks for the reply and the work you put into ExifTool.

Second, I did check out the wrapper and it runs perfectly well...outside of Sony Vegas. I think that from a "get it up and running" standpoint, it would be easier to launch an external process and strip the output from there.  Even if it's something as simple as getting the data from ExifTool and writing it to a text file.  All from an external process, of course.

Again, thanks Phil!
