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:
@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
-
@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.

Salmon u r not Understanding ma problem
Last tym I ll try 2 explain wat problem is
consider my game is Batman
and ma videos are in E:\Batman\Videos\Trailer.bik (50 mb)
now i Have the low quality Video of 10 mb in E:\Temp\Temp.bik
(now u understood Problem is not size but the "NAME"
pls Give me a code which would Overwrite Trailer.bik with Temp.bik [and rename Temp.bik to Trailer.bik]
der r LOLS of Filessssssssssssssssssssssssssss
-
Not explained properly.
-
How can you tell that
E:\Temp\Temp.bik
is the small version of
E:\Batman\Videos\Trailer.bik
?

============================================
May be my solution works
@echo off
del e:\batman\videos\*.bik
copy e:\temp\temp*.bik e:\batman\videos\trai*.bik
>>>> first line deletes all *.bik files in videos folder
>>>> second will copy all the files on the name of trai.bik
this i did by supposing that you have given numbers to temp.bik like temp001.bik, temp002.bik, .....
Note 1: this method i have shared is only copying /replacing in the name size of both the sides are equal (like temp001.bik and trai001.bik the numbers may exceed to thousands but the alphabates should be same)
Note 2: If you do not want to delete the other files, you can copy it somewhere else before deleting by using the command copy e:\batman\vidios\*.bik e:\copy\
Just open a notepad, write the above code, and save in the .bat extension :)
Please reply if it works

gpl
ive used bink video compressor to compress my bink videos (.bik)
salmon ur my last hope
pls help
-
hey salmon ive pasted a new And hardest QUERY in ma lyf in COMPUTER PROGRAMMING section
pls check it out
-
Mr. PAIN
my solution didn't worked??
I tested it on my computer and then posted it here
It can copy large number of files from one place to another according to what you said.
you should have atleast replied to my post with words "NO Thanks I do not need your Help" I wasted my such a long time by coming again and again to the forum to see weather you understood my solution or not and you even didn't replied with a single word and you ignored it if there wasn't any post at all.
huh
-
You may not be suited to a Forum atmosphere...this happens you know...
-
huh
I feel your pain! Seriously, don't, ever, expect any thanks for helping people on forums. It's nice if you get some, sure, but very often people just read your reply and bugger off. Like patio says, this happens (very often).
-
Thanks a lot Salmon
I will never forget this great words of yours
Thanks again

Hey Salmon ive got sum Part of my Query
my File is "E:\TEST\ESRB.bik"(1 kb)
other File is "E:\TEST\test\bink.bik"(1 mb)
my Code is
xcopy E:\TEST\ESRB.bik E:\TEST\test\bink.bik
this Overwrites the [1 mb FILE (bink.bik) With ESRB.bik (1 KB) Without changing the names
now if there r 100's of files in E:\TEST\ and in E:\TEST\test\
wat shld b d CODE
-
try * or ? for the number of files
eg.
esrb1.bik
esrb2.bik
.
.
esrb100.bik
.
.
esrb1000.bik
then use in the command
xcopy E:\TEST\ESRB*.bik E:\TEST\test\bink*.bik
? is for known number of digits i.e. if esrb001.bik then use esrb???.bik this will not act on esrb10000.bik. whereas esrb*.bik will work
:D
Enjoy
-
no Bukhari1986 no
ESRB.bik.....that part is OK [u r absolutely right,thanks]
but th problem is bink.bik
ther r several names for eg Trailer.bik
Attractmode.bik
And many more, but none of the names r repeated
-
if you do not want to change the name of each file while copying to the destination directory then the following command
xcopy E:\TEST\*.bik E:\TEST\test\*.bik (copying everything with the extension .bik)
OR
xcopy E:\TEST\*.* E:\TEST\test\*.* (for Everything in the directory.)
you can stop the option of confirming the overwrite question by putting /Y at the end or you can see more help with the xcopy command by typing xcopy /? in a command prompt.
If your requirement is to copy every separate named file to the destination folder with a new name for each of the file, then you need to input a separate command for every file or every set of files with similar names.
:D

@ pain
I found your another post for finding the source code of some Inject.exe software.
I think you search Resource Hacker Software for it and open that exe file through it
may be you get help.
