What is the process you are using now to compress the files and then replace the originals? There should be a switch to replace the files as they are created.

I wonder how the  "Great_Compressor_Pain"  can go from 10Meg to 2k  without compression?

Am i missing the connection here between compressing and renaming files...or is it a Full Moon ? ?

he has completed the compression or he would not know the file size with compression. What I think he was/is asking for is how to replace the original files with the compressed versions.

@great_compressor_pain

What compression utility are you utilizing? There should be switches or commands to replace files as they are compressed. We will need to know the program before we can give you the available switches or commands.

You may rename as you copy with the following code by Greg:
The destination string must include a counter and the file extention:

Code: [Select]

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion


set /a j=0
dir /B  /s  *.mod  >  mod.txt

for /f "delims=" %%a in (mod.txt) do (

set /a j+=1



copy "%%a" E:\tmp\!j!.mod
)

Means...
If there is a file named test.avi which is in Lower quality of size 10mb
and i just replace it with another test.avi of size 2kb whose quality is 10 times
worse than ever

Unless you are out of space don't compress.  Put seldom used files on an external drive.

Good Luck.

@OP, describe what you want to do EXACTLY. You can making the people who answer your post more confused... . Do you want to convert avi from high quality to lower quality ? then use a video conversion tool that does that for you. If you are talking about compression as in what zip or winzip does for you, then no, compressing an avi file doesn't give you much reduction in size.

Now this is The real thing

i rip off videos from games...(not really rip off just MOVE them in Temp Folder)

Now my Temp Folder is in

E:\Temp\

It Contain 36 *.bik files (video Files) of game which r 2 b Replaced by 36 blank *.bik files

which Are in:

E:\Temp\Movies

Code: [Select]

@echo off
for %%P in (*.bik) do copy /Y E:\temp\movies\%%P .

replaces "bik" files in current folder with files from E:\temp\movies.
