Thunar Custom Action Convert avi to mp4

[voorhees1979]

Hi all

I am trying to make a custom action for thunar to convert avi to mp4 with a click of the button for my PSP. My script is as follows:

#!/bin/bash
time HandBrakeCLI -i “$1″ -o “$(echo $1 | sed ’s/avi$/mp4/’)” -B 128 -R 48 -E FAAC -e FFmpeg -f MP4 -b 300 -w 368 -l 208 &> /home/voorhees/myscript.log

This doesnt seem to work though. Im using sed to make it save as same file name with different extension. My log output is this:

HandBrake 0.9.3 (2009012200) - 
1 CPU detected
Opening “/media/disk/TV/Lost/01.avi″...
No title found.
HandBrake has exited.

But If I run this cmd from terminal it works:

time HandBrakeCLI -i /media/disk/TV/Lost/01.avi -o /media/disk2/l1.mp4 -B 128 -R 48 -E FAAC -e FFmpeg -f MP4 -b 300 -w 368 -l 208

It works so I know the avi is ok. I just cant work out why the script isnt doing the same thing.

Many Thanks for any help
