[RESOLVED]I'd like a .bat file for this

[GPow69]

Okay so my video camera records in a stupid .MOD file type, and I just found a nice easy tutorial to make them work in Premiere, you just have to rename it to .M2V and replace a DLL in the install

On the same place I found this info I also found a nice tutorial on how to do a lot of them at once, it's this:

Type in the command cd (change directory) put a space, then put the directory of all the .MOD files

Now type "rename *.MOD *.M2V" to rename all of the MOD files to M2V files

This worked for me, and it's great. But I'd like a nice .bat file that would make this a whole lot faster, I could have one folder where I always put my footage in, then execute the .bat to rename them all instantly, and I wouldn't have to go through the cmd thing.

If someone just makes the base of it, I can put in the directory myself if you put something like (PUT DIRECTORY HERE) in the code

So, can anyone code this?
(Too bad Remis doesn't come around much anymore...)

I was just about to mention Remis before I read it in your post..
Well Austin might know it, or Andre, I have no clue GP.

A while ago I literally JUST started typing a message to Andre asking him and he logged off >.<

^ Now that was a bummer D:

I tried googling after this, but... not very good results :/

Well what do you think the first thing I did when I thought of it was?

It's not like I saw you typing a message and then quit...

Why not try something like

cd (PUT DIRECTORY HERE)
ren *.MOD *.M2V

Won't work probably tho.

Lol, I tried something, it's Very easy
1. Make a new .txt file.
Write in it:

cd <Your Directory>
rename *.mod *.m2v

I tried it with a txt file which i renamed to .mod , executed the batch file and it worked!

YAY! Thanks both of you, both worked

Wow I really should have tried that before I asked >.<

Yeah, my timing was just bad lol
