how to select all files in a folder or dvd for convertion?

[matey]

hi all

I have a desktop pc running win 7 laptop running vista

the problem I keep running into is how exactly I select all the contents of say a folder/memory stick or dvd for convertion to another format.

for instance I have trp files on a memory stick I wish to convert to avi, I am using wondershare video convter .

i just cannot seem to open all the files to (batch convert) if i try select all only the last file on mem stick loads into wondershare.

which is a right pain as wish to let laptop or desktop convert files then shutdown, rather than just keep loading indervidual files.


not sure if this is correct place to, post, but this issue has been a problem for a while i cannot see where i am making errors in loading files

thank you

Perhaps try drag-and-drop?

its called batch mode, some programs need a 'script' to do this

i nevrr heard of 'trp' but i don't know everything

anyway try 'Super' you can drag and drop a bunch of files and let it run it will convert all of them one after the other

I'm not sure what trp files are either and I've never used wondershare, but both AnyVideoConverter and Video To Video Converter should let you drag and drop a folder full of files into their program window for conversion. (ie use Ctrl+A to select all the files using Explorer, then drag them onto the program window).

thanks all

its not the video converter I am using that gives me the problem with transferring files.

I have found drag and drop works sometimes as does crtl+a

but have found using copy and paste seems to select all the contents of a folder (unopened) and allow me to transfer elsewhere.
