"For" command help required
I have a ffmpeg script like this:

Code:
for %%x in (*.mp4) do ffmpeg -i "%%x" -i "%%x".srt -vcodec copy -acodec copy -scodec copy -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 1:0 -y "%%x".mkv

however the problem with the current script is that it includes the full filename+extension, that hinders the script from working.

for example I would require "trailer.srt" however by using for the way I use it I will get "trailer.mp4.srt"

After Windows expands the variable completely, the code would look like this:
Code:
ffmpeg -i trailer.mp4 -i trailer.mp4.srt -vcodec copy -acodec copy -scodec copy -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 1:0 -y trailer.mp4.mkv

I want it to be this:

Code:


Code:



ffmpeg -i trailer.mp4 -i trailer.srt -vcodec copy -acodec copy -scodec copy -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 1:0 -y trailer.mp4

Guess I fixed it myself...

the magical thing to use here is

Code:
 %%~nx

=>
Code:
ffmpeg -i %%x -i %%~nx -vcodec copy -acodec copy -scodec copy -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 1:0 -y %%~nx.mp4
