Hmmmm sucks about spacetime.

And yeah that sounds pretty reasonable... I don't exactly know how to implement it in a particularly elegant way either... I've been programming for a little while but I've never touched UNIX before this attempt at a script... I think we're onto something here though. I'll touch up the script tomorrow, I've got studying to do tonight :/ But I think I can work your suggestions in pretty well.

One request though... Would it be possible for you to test it as it is right now with a bunch of videos and look for a specific error? I get an error "sh not found: <SECOND WORD OF MULTIPLE WORD FILENAME>" And I have no idea where it comes from. It seems to be reported BEFORE any of my code is invoked. Also, if anyone with more UNIX experience could look into it that'd be much appreciated

Thanks
