Multiple Instance Conversion Program

[luttrell1962]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this
I'm putting together a program that will process ts files to avi using ffmpeg. My machine is fastest enough to run 3-4 instances.

I can extract file names easily enough dir recordingdir\*.ts /b/s > outputfile
But I need to determine is one is being recorded so it does not get processed.

I might be able to determine this with a rename command (if it fails it might be recording) I tested this on recording, it said comskip was using the file. But what if your not using comskip? At the moment I have chosen xbasic to write the code in.

Any other places that current recordings can be extracted?

Edit: I could also check the filesize and wait a minute and recheck, that would work.
I would create blank batch file so gb-pvr process's the trans queue after conversions are complete
