In Windows this is your %PATH% environment variable. You could put ffmpeg.exe in your C:\Windows\system32 but in this case it is easier to just put ffmpeg in the same directory as your batch file (as the current directory is always checked) Thanks for letting me know about -map_meta_data out:in

Wanted to drop the bit rate of some of my files, but needed the meta data to remain. Here's what I used :) ffmpeg -i %1 -ab 160k -map_meta_data %1.mp3:%1 -y %1.mp3 @if errorlevel 1 @pause Also found using straight 'ffmpeg' did not work (not recognized as an internal or external command) so stuck it on my C:Drive and made it C:\ffmpeg Regards, C Hi,
