Hi,
the batch conversion tool can't handle long file names as generated by the Windows Live Photo Gallery import tool. I was shocked (dismayed?) to see that my brand new X5 doesn't import DV as nicely as this free MS tool (as an aside). Here is an example filename: "Tape05 2001-01-02 14.05.33.avi". It stumbles on the first '.' it finds. Luckily it does not overwrite files that end up having the same name because of this truncation but still. Come on now. Path manipulation is junior engineer programming 101.
The batch convert also does not remember the target directory last used. At least default it to the source directory, right?
Unlikely to be fixed, I know, but maybe it'll go on the list for X6.
Thanks
Sander

- Check out the filenames. The .avis are original DV files, the m2t and mp4 are converted files. Note the '~' in the file name.
