Possible to compress files to the RVZ format from command line?

[mjr_awesome]

Is it possible to convert files from ISO to RVZ via command line on Linux (or Windows, for that matter)? I would like to batch convert my collection of GC/Wii files on a headless Linux server. From what I know, Dolphin is the only software that can use and create RVZ files. I checked the command line options for the latest stable version of Dolphin on Windows, but couldn't see any for conversion/compression...

Thanks.

No, this is unfortunately not possible right now.

Thanks for a very fast reply. Three more questions on the subject if you don't mind.

(1) Do you have plans to add this feature, i.e. conversion/compression via CLI, in the future?
(2) The only way to convert a large collection of ISO to RVZ now is to add them all to Dolphin, select all and "Convert Selected Files", correct?
(3) Do you have plans to add chd support in the future?

Yes, if I get time.

No, I don't have any concrete plans for that, as the compression probably won't be much better than with GCZ.

With respect this request had been made many times and it's badly needed. For example, I been wanting to convert my ISOs to RVZ on a headless machine running linux. I don't want to install x11, etc just for this task.

There needs to be a cross-platform CLI made for RVZ if you want it to be a file format of choice.

Could you spend the day and make a cli for RVZ conversion?
I did try running dolphin-emu in the terminal but complains about no GTK+.

This machine is remote, this is a PITA for me right now. Please make this a priority issue, it's low hanging fruit. The code exists, it just needs surfaced!
Nkit provides a x-platform converter toolset...RVZ needs one too.
