Automating Bookshare

[Brent Harding]

That's one of those things I hate about Microsoft as well. I have a program 
that records TV for me off a tuner card, and I'd like to run something as 
the command after the recording finishes that would convert the mpeg-2 video 
into .wav or some other audio. I don't think I could find a script for 
Windows, much less Linux, that would convert all the .mpg's in one folder to 
.wav's in another and then delete the original video files.
