#90 Convert folder with subfolder and recreate structure under different path

[silux500]

Hi,
I am have a folder structure with the files inside that should be converted.
I want to reproduce this folder structure but in a different main folder. e.g. folder "Main" should be converted to e.g. "MainConverted" and contain all subfolders in just normal way.

I have the following command:
-f segment -segment_time 600 -reset_timestamps 1 -c copy -map 0 "C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\MainConverted\%fn_%04d.mp3"

And I selected "Recreate source Path" in the GUI. But somehow it just copies all single files in to the MainConverted folder. It has no subfolder structure. All mp3 files are in one folder (MainConverted).

Can you tell me how to achieve this?

Also is there a way to replace "MainConverted" in the path (\MainConverted\%fn_%04d.mp3") with a variable which takes automatically the original Main Folder Name and just adds "Converted" to the folderName?

Also it seems as the command leaves in every original folder an empty "FFBatch" folder as residue. Is there a way so that does not happen?

Hi, to use a custom output like "C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\MainConverted\%fn_%04d.mp3"
you need to overrite de automatic output selection by setting format field to 'nul'.

In this case, I'm afraid source path structure is not preserved.

I should document this feature.
