Is there a wildcard or code for the file name?

[johnzapf]

I would like it to get any file I have in the "VIDEO" folder and output to the "MP4" folder keeping the same name on the file, is that possible? ie: C:\Users\John\Desktop\VIDEO\test.mov to C:\Users\John\Desktop\MP4\test1920.mp4, etc... I don't want to have to change the name of the file or the script each time.

I want to put a file in the Video folder (filename.mov) and have it output to the MP4 folder (filename1920.mp4) and I dont want to have to change the "filename" is there a wildcard or code for "filename"?

handbrakecli -i C:\Users\John\Desktop\VIDEO\"filename".mov -o C:\Users\John\Desktop\MP4\filename1920.mp4 -w 1920 --preset="Normal"
handbrakecli -i C:\Users\John\Desktop\VIDEO\"filename".mov -o C:\Users\John\Desktop\MP4\filename1280.mp4 -w 1280 --preset="Normal"
handbrakecli -i C:\Users\John\Desktop\VIDEO\"filename".mov -o C:\Users\John\Desktop\MP4\filename960.mp4 -w 960 --preset="Normal"
handbrakecli -i C:\Users\John\Desktop\VIDEO\:filename".mov -o C:\Users\John\Desktop\MP4\filename640.mp4 -w 640 --preset="Normal"
