As far as the command line video/audio program, I believe ffmpeg has options for this.

Re: Speecher | A Pro Text-to-Speech Engine in Batch | By PaperTronics

Re: List of First Post Topic Titles (only)?
What I usually do when I need to find something like this is select the advanced search and return only the topic title. Then, I'll open each topic title of interest in another thread.

Re: use bat file to open application then file
It heavily depends on the application you are using - but to be honest: It sounds more like a job for AutoIt to me. (Although you probably may also use hybrid jscript/bat or C#/bat scripts .) penpen Not only this, but it also depends on the system you are running it on as well. Some systems may hav...

Re: Xcopy switch help
Check the dates and times on the two systems involved and make sure they are in sync.
Also, what are the two file systems involved? There are some time/date nuances between FAT and NTFS.

Re: parameter file sent to a batch file

Re: Multiple forum sections?
While multiple levels of a forum can be useful, I actually like the single, busy forum. No need to complicate it. Just leave it as is. Everything works fine.

Re: Automatic pdf merger for simular filenames
Easiest way to get this working would be to copy/move those files to a single folder. Otherwise, this will grow in complexity.
