[QUOTE="dir, post: 969564, member: 24485"] Interesting. Just tried running Video2mkv_convert.exe (I assume that's the right exe to run as there is alos "mkvmerge.exe" in the same archive). It's a command-line app but prompts to choose the source and destination directories via a pop-up. The first problem I have is that my TV collection is e:\tv\series 1\season 01\s01e01 - blah.avi e:\tv\series 2\season 01\s01e02 - blah.avi e:\tv\series 2\season 02\s02e01 - blah.avi etc. And there are 24,000 files across 400 series and probably 3000 season directories. So there's no way I can manually specify each and every one of them. And I can't create a script to do this automatically, because of the pop-up. Ideally, the program allows run-time parameters and won't prompt, and allows for things like: - destination directory is same as source - retain original file's date/time (don't create new file with today's date/time) - once file is "converted" to mkv, delete original video file AND xml file. Good idea for a utility, tho. If it can be run as I'm suggesting, it could also be included in torrent/sabnzbd download workflow. (and if you really want it to be cool, have it update the MP tv database file with the new filename so My TV_Series doesn't consider all the converted files as new!) And make sure it has a beer dispenser thingie on the side. All the new cool gadgets have beer dispensers on the side. Like video games. And trucks. And chicks. Not so much chicks. [/QUOTE]
