regularly copy files to different directory with different file extentions
I have a NAS and I upload my videos to it from time to time. the video format is 3gp but my media player PBO could only play avi. I want to copy these files to different directory and change the extention from 3gp to avi. (yes I want to keep the original version and create a duplicate version with different extention). Could anyone give me some hint which commands I should start to learn for this work. I want my arch linux to check the original folder daily for any newly added files. if there is any new files, then do the copy and change job.
Thanks!

I need to copy about 13 Tb of data from one directory and subdirectories to the other (another mount point). If I run this as a cron, say between 10 pm and 7 am, not all of the files will be copied over. Is there a way of 'resuming' the copy the following evenings until all files are copied over?

SPLAY(1) Applications/Sound SPLAY(1)
NAME
splay - MPEG-1,2 Audio layer 1,2,3 file player
SYNOPSIS
splay [-2VMfmrsv] [-k num] [-d dev] [-l list] [-t num] filenames...
DESCRIPTION
Splay is the sound file player such as MPEG-1,2 Audio files. And you can play these files using list file. With pthread, it can play
sound files smoother.
OPTIONS
Splay has several options.
-2 play MPEG-Audio files with half-frequency. If you use this option, you may play MPEG audio files with job which exhausts CPU very
much.
-f display info on played and remaining frames and time.
-m force to mono. Play with mono even if file is in stereo.
-r Repeat forever. If you -r with -s, list files are shuffled every time.
-s Shuffle play. If you give list file or a number of files, Splay will rearrange them randomly. And with -r every time the order of
files is changed.
-v[v[v]]
Verbose, Very verbose, Very very verbose.
-M Play MPEG file from standard input.
-V Show version number.
-t num
num of frames were saved during playing. When CPU is so busy and prevents splay from decoding, splay will play back using saved
frames. This feature lets you do other job freely while listening to MPEG music.
-k num
num of frames are skipped at the start of playing.
-d dev
Change device file. Default device file is /dev/dsp. If you can't use this device file or you can output raw type data to file, you
can use this option. If the first character of dev is / , dev would be considered as device file, If the first character of dev is
- , dev would be considered as standard output, otherwise dev would be considered as normal file.
-l list
Select list file. http:// can be used. (e.g. http://localhost/abc.m3u)
filenames
You can put several files, and use http:// If you use -l option, these will be ignored.
