seriously, back on topic... on mac -- El Capitan calling shell I have this open sourced app
ffmpeg and I need to copy the first file from a CD, convert it to a wav file, name it, and save it to a file on a hard drive. (the executable is located in the same folder as the stack, hence the ./ ) so my generated command used with the shell command is: *./ffmpeg -i '/Volumes/Audio CD/1 Audio Track.aiff' '/Volumes/20160518 KJAZ ARCHIVE MASTER/JULY - JAN 2017/20040315-2-JD0211b.wav'* this works fine, LC just doesn't return control until it's fully imported the file off of the CD. I just want to keep a simple counter going during the file import. I've tried these variations below without success. It's true, I get screwed by syntax and quotes all the time, but I still have not found why these won't work. Sometimes these will copy the file, but does not release until done. ./ffmpeg -i "/Volumes/Audio CD/1 Audio Track.aif" "/Volumes/20160518 KJAZ ARCHIVE MASTER/JULY - JAN 2017/20180204 TEST1.wav &" ./ffmpeg -i "/Volumes/Audio CD/1 Audio Track.aif" "/Volumes/20160518 KJAZ ARCHIVE MASTER/JULY - JAN 2017/20180204 TEST1.wav" & (./ffmpeg -i '/Volumes/Audio CD/1 Audio Track.aiff' '/Volumes/20160518 KJAZ ARCHIVE MASTER/JULY - JAN 2017/20040315-2-JD0211b.wav' &) thanks for any suggestions... you guys rock. sqb -- Stephen Barncard - Sebastopol Ca.
