it works perfect, thx for the help.

Do you know a way that i do not have to type all the names of the movies i want to convert ( <list of files to convert> )
So when i run the script in a certain folder it takes all .avi files that are in that folder to convert them (would save me some work, total is about 200 movies to convert Smilie )
Now i placed 10 movies in a folder and typed their names in the <list of files to convert> so it starts with those 10, but it would be nice not to have to type all the movie titles before converting.




Is there a way that when you execute the script that before it starts converting you first get the question to restart (r), shutdown (s), leave computer on (l)
so after you press r, s or l the conversion starts and then after all is converted the system shuts down or restart or does nothing?
For this i thing about:
[code]echo "When converting is done would you like to Restart (r), Shot down (s) or leave the computer on (l)"
if [r] restart,
if [s] shutdown
if [l] do nothing

but im not a good scripter, so i know the way i put it here will not work (but i dont know the good way)

RMF(1)								     [nmh-1.5]								    RMF(1)

NAME
rmf - remove an nmh folder SYNOPSIS
rmf [+folder] [-interactive | -nointeractive] [-version] [-help] DESCRIPTION
Rmf removes all of the messages (files) within the specified (or default) folder, and then removes the folder (directory) itself. If there are any files within the folder which are not a part of nmh, they will not be removed, and an error will be produced. If the folder is given explicitly or the -nointeractive option is given, then the folder will be removed without confirmation. Otherwise, the user will be asked for confirmation. If rmf can't find the current folder, for some reason, the folder to be removed defaults to `+inbox' (unless overridden by user's profile entry "Inbox") with confirmation. If the folder being removed is a subfolder, the parent folder will become the new current folder, and rmf will produce a message telling the user this has happened. This provides an easy mechanism for selecting a set of messages, operating on the list, then removing the list and returning to the current folder from which the list was extracted. If rmf s used on a read-only folder, it will delete all the (private) sequences (i.e., "atr-seq-folder" entries) for this folder from your context without affecting the folder itself. Rmf irreversibly deletes messages that don't have other links, so use it with caution. FILES
$HOME/.mh_profile The user profile PROFILE COMPONENTS
Path: To determine the user's nmh directory Current-Folder: To find the default current folder Inbox: To find the default inbox SEE ALSO
rmm(1) DEFAULTS
`+folder' defaults to the current folder, usually with confirmation `-interactive' if +folder' not given, `-nointeractive' otherwise CONTEXT
Rmf will set the current folder to the parent folder if a subfolder is removed; or if the current folder is removed, it will make "inbox" current. Otherwise, it doesn't change the current folder or message. BUGS
Although intuitively one would suspect that rmf works recursively, it does not. Hence if you have a sub-folder within a folder, in order to rmf the parent, you must first rmf each of the children. MH.6.8 11 June 2012 RMF(1)
