[FFmpeg-user] Batch file to convert New Edit

[esikcalabrese at verizon.net]

I believe I'm getting closer.  It doesn't appear to get the 2nd variable. 

set /p filename="Enter Unconverted File Name: "
set /p outputfilename="Enter Converted File Name: "
CALL "C:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe" ffmpeg -i %filename% %outputfilename%
pause





C:\Users\Kirk Calabrese\Desktop>set /p filename="Enter Unconverted File Name: "
Enter Unconverted File Name: Robinson.wav

C:\Users\Kirk Calabrese\Desktop>set /p outputfilename="Enter Converted File Name: "
Enter Converted File Name: robinsonconverted.wav

C:\Users\Kirk Calabrese\Desktop>CALL "C:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe" ffmpeg -i Robinson.wav robinsonconverted.wav

As you can see here, the input filename is missing in the command string.
Try removing the space characters left and right of = in the set commands. Please note that you have no space character left of = in the second set command. This may be the difference why this line works.
