TRID wrapper script that changes extension to mp4

narayan · 2012-02-11 13:33

I am using ReNamer a lot for renaming videos downloaded from Youtube.
I first play a video, catch its stream using a firefox extension called Flashgot, and pass the URL to FreeDownloadManager.
Unfortunately, it cannot detect the filename+extension. This has to be done manually.

The files are either flv, mp4 or webm.

ReNamer's TRID script identifies three alternative extensions (m4v/m4r/3g2).
Because of this, ReNamer reports that the file name is invalid, and requires manual intervention.

But I would be happy to just rename such file as mp4.

Can we have a wrapper script that invokes TRID, and simply changes the "m4v/m4r/3g2" extensions as "mp4"?
That would be a big timesaver.

Thanks in advance!

The script can be modified to do this automatically, but it may be better to just add another rule to replace ".m4v/m4r/3g2" with ".mp4"

Now how did I miss that?

Thanks!
