Is there a way to Pulldown .m2v files in a batch? That way I dont have to do one by one. I searched the threads but I dont believe anyone has asked this before. correct me if I am wrong and point me to the right thread if any!

You can do it with a batch file. That's what I do. It's easy since pulldown.exe is already a DOS program.

Just open notepad and type in the commands you want to execute, one on each line. Then save the text file as pull.bat (or anything.bat). Windows will treat any file ending in .bat as a list of instructions.

All you have to do now is double-click pull.bat, or go to a command prompt and just type "pull" and hit enter. Your computer will execute each line, one at a time.

For a more versatile solution use the attached batch file. It will perform an automatic pulldown on every file with an extension .mpv in the directory that pullbatch.bat is ran in.

Copy the pullbatch.bat file into the directory that your .mpvs are in and then doubleclick on it.

no attachment seen, can you put it again or type what the .bat file says? thanks for your input.

Here is a link to a PULLDOWN GUI that I believe will perform a PD in batch mode. I've only tested it with single files, and small ones at that. There is another PD GUI that gave me problems with file sizes greater than 1.85GB (although the CL version worked okay). However, the author of that GUI wrote it specifically for SVCD's and not DVD's. Try one of the GUI's... they really make your life a lot easier.
