Hello,
How would I go about writing a batch file to copy all the file names in a folder...just the file names not the files and then rename them to something standard like "video1.avi", "video2.avi",etc. THEN when I'm ready rename them to the original file name.
I am using WINFF to convert some files in the command line but it doesn't convert all files in a folder...it will only work if I specify the exact file name. So I was thinking of renaming all the files to something standard so the program can run without user interaction and then when it is done the files will be renamed to the original.

The number of files vary...it could be one or ten.
Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

Run this on the FOLDER, NOT a FILE in he FOLDER:

@ECHO OFF
CD /D %1
IF EXIST TempName.lst GoTo Restore
FOR %%a IN (*.*) DO CALL :TempName "%%a" >> TempName.lst
GoTo END
:Restore
FOR /F "DELIMS=" %%a IN (TempName.lst) DO REN %%a
DEL TempName.lst
GoTo END

:TempName
IF %1=="%~nx0" GoTo END
IF %1=="TempName.lst" GoTo END
SET UseName=0
:TEMPNAME-LOOP
SET /A UseName+=1
IF EXIST %UseName%%~x1 GoTo TEMPNAME-LOOP
REN %1 %UseName%%~x1
@ECHO %UseName%%~x1 %1
