The VideoLAN Forums

I am trying to convert some MP3 files in a folder to .ts format.

I am using the following...
for %%a in (*.mp3) do "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -I dummy -vvv %%a --sout=#transcode{acodec=mp2a,ab=192,channels=6}:standard
access=file,mux=raw,dst=%%a.ts} vlc:quit

which works but there are a couple of flaws

1) The MP3 files have spaces in the file name but the code only works if I replace all the spaces with a _ which is very time consuming
2) The output file name becomes filename.mp3.ts

How do I change the code so I don't have to replace all the spaces in the file names and the output filename becomes filename.ts?

Thanks in anticipation

Welcome to Windows.
The easiest way to complete this in Win is via... Excel, or, my preference, OpenOffice Calc.
First, issue:
dir /b *.mp3 >filelist.csv
Then open the filelist in the spreadsheet processor and use some sort of text substitute function to replace " " and "mp3" to the desired text. Save the result in the ajacent column. Then add the prefix "ren " to each row and concatenate the filenames columns. Your result should look something like this:
ren "file name.mp3" file_name.ts
for each row.
Save the file (despite warnings of formatting loss), rename it to filelist.bat and run. Voila!
