Renaming Multiple File Extensions In One Go...

[2eq]

Is there any way of renaming lots of file extensions in one go...

eg. I want to rename -

Rebellion (Lies).m4a
Four Kicks.m4a
Plateau.m4a
Hypnotize.m4a
Esja.m4a


Into -

Rebellion (Lies).mp4
Four Kicks.mp4
Plateau.mp4
Hypnotize.mp4
Esja.mp4

Cheers.

Hi,
I think ( but have no real place to try) that

ren *.m4a *.mp4

( in a command window in the directory containing the files)

would work

If you only have a few to rename then it is just as easy to do it manually.

You will need to uncheck this box in Folder Options/ View to access the file extension. "Hide extensions for known file types".

Rename the extension. Make sure you understand the resultant Warning Message.


To automate the procedure (when numerous files are involved) you may need some third party renaming software.

Turkbear's" solution sounds like a better solution.
