RE: CF9 cfexecute issues.
Hi, Michael... Have you eliminated the possibility that some of the files you working with on this run through are causing problems? Did you run these files through CF8 to see if they work there? I haven't worked with converting images avi mpg, so I have no experience with the process, but thought it could perhaps be a corrupt source file causing a problem.

Re: CF9 cfexecute issues.
are the batch files actually being executed and doing their job? Are any errors occurring in the batch file ? you need to do some tests to determine what is causing the problem. Make a simple batch file that does something basic like an echo command or somehting, and see if that works, If not, then it would tell you that executing batch file sis the problem or cfexecute itself. If it does work, then try doing the original image manipulation but just 1 image and see if that works. Then work forward from here, if 1 image works, then increase the iterations of images processed until you get the problem, and then check if it was just perhaps that image causing a problem, or does it seem related to number of iterations, oer perhaps it could be the time it takes to execute, If you gradually exclude all the possible causes, you should be left with the prime suspect.
