The ProcessChannelMode setting lets you specify how QProcess should handle 
stdout and stderr streams from the running command. 
http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/html/qprocess.html#ProcessChannelMode-enum
The ForwardedChannels mode tells it to send any output from the command to your 
main application, so you would see it printed to the command shell. 
It is completely optional here. These specific commands have no output, but I 
had left it there when I was testing a Windows-specific sleep command (first 
trying to use "timeout") to see what the command was saying without needing to 
read the QProcess specifically. 

I do have a blog post, where comments could be directed for the video if this 
works for you?

I am not sure why cmiVFX doesn't have a working forum area. I know they are 
working on a big revamp right now.
