Forgot to put this line in my post, it should be the first line

Well, Script A worked perfectly Thanks
Script B in a CMD window did nothing, sat there with a flashing cursor ???
does it get too complicated to create folders in the converted folder the same as the convert folder, so the files are converted into like for like folders ?
if it’s complicated I won’t trouble you, just a thought.
thanks again
- Reddwarf4everMar 15, 2022Copper ContributorThe video files converted to AC3 in around 2 1/2 hours, 70 files. But it seems it may not just have been the audio, as they still won’t play on my TV, but will play on an Xbox with VLC player app. Maybe if I used the script you made, but instead of converting the audio, leave that as is and convert the MKV to AVI or MP4 maybe, that may sort out the issues, is that something that can be done easily, sorry to give you another project.
Thanks- Mar 15, 2022I don't know much about converting video files, but can't you use HandBrake (https://handbrake.fr/) for it and try to find out what format your TV does play? You can add things to a queue there too for multiple files
