Unattended conversion possible?

[IanWorthington]

Hi --

I'm looking for a tool to automatically convert news program files I download overnight via NetTransport from Real to mp3 ready for me to listen to on my morning commute.

The dMC RA codec appears to work well, all be it somewhat slowly but, given its speed, what I'm lacking is someway to automatically kick off that conversion when NetTransport has gone its job.

Is there any type of command line interface available? I'm guessing there must be something to enable an external app like dMC File Select to talk to the main module.

Any suggestions?

Hi Spoon --

Works like a charm; many thanks.

I've never played with vbs before. Do you, per chance, know of a site where I could find out how to kick off this script automatically when a file is created n a directory? I'm guessing there must be some more intelligent option than looping waiting for it to appear.

Thanks again,

Windows has some lowlevel apis that can monitor a folder, but I don't know if VB or vbs can use such.
