| 511409 | 2006-12-31 22:07:00 | Hi all, My family have a whole lot of .mp4 files they've converted. To put them on their Cellphones they need them to be renamed to .m4a Is there any way that I can do this with a batch script that looks for all files in a folder (the current one?) and then renames the .mp4's to .m4a's? Cheers Chill. |

Paulw, that looks good, I'll download it now and give it a whirl :) Cheers guys *Am open to any other suggestions in the mean time* Chill. |
