Thanks, that's indeed what I refer to. I am actually very thankful that you published that and that it got me so far as to producing anything at all.
However as I said, using it like you wrote produces wrong field order, at least on my machine. so I googled and found one explanation of those two arguments that you recommended to be removed. apparently, these are not arguments but flags, which at least makes a difference in command syntax. :-) do it right, and field order comes out right. the -y argument is for allowing targets to be overwritten. leaving it out means specified .m2v file cannot be rendered out if there is already a file of that name. it works on the command line too. the meaning of the -hq argument remains a mystery. i did not need it. cheers georg On Friday, 7.
