I am finding .mkv files to convert. I want to keep the file name and location the same post conversion.

Is there any way to do that? I figured out the %originalfilename% for the filename change but I can’t figure out how to keep the folder structure the same. I am using the PLEX DVR and it creates the folder structure.

Any help is much appreciated.

Try this. Uncheck all options in the “Rename and Sorting” section. Also try leaving the “Destination” field blank.

Thank you. It looks like it worked like a charm. Another new development is it looks like it even moved the original files to the archive location. woohoo

I had it moving them to a network drive before. That may have been the issue.

Thanks again.
