PREFACE: It appears that FFmpeg is slipping into command mode, taking the next couple letters from stdin, and interpreting them. That screws up the remaining script of course. You do realize this is totally off-topic for this mailinglist? But fine, I'll bite.

I would recommend quoting your variables when spaces are involved. The following works for me: SET "JOB=D:\work\MISS PETTIGREW LIVES FOR A DAY [2007]" SET "DELAY2CH=%JOB%DELAY2CH.ac3" SET "DELAY6CH=%JOB%DELAY6CH.ac3" SET "SOURCEa0=%JOB%a0.ac3" SET "SOURCEa1=%JOB%a1.ac3" SET "DELAYEDa0=%JOB%DELAYEDa0.ac3" SET "DELAYEDa1=%JOB%DELAYEDa1.ac3" echo ffconcat version 1.0>"%JOB%CONCATa0.txt" echo file '%DELAY2CH%'>>"%JOB%CONCATa0.txt" echo file '%SOURCEa0%'>>"%JOB%CONCATa0.txt" ffmpeg -y -safe 0 -i "%JOB%CONCATa0.txt" "%DELAYEDa0%" echo ffconcat version 1.0>"%JOB%CONCATa1.txt" echo file '%DELAY6CH%'>>"%JOB%CONCATa1.txt" echo file '%SOURCEa1%'>>"%JOB%CONCATa1.txt" ffmpeg -y -safe 0 -i "%JOB%CONCATa1.txt" "%DELAYEDa1%" But why so many unneccesary variables? Also the creation of the ffconcat-file can be done more efficiently. How about: SET "JOB=D:\work\MISS PETTIGREW LIVES FOR A DAY [2007]" (FOR %%A IN ("%JOB%DELAY2CH.ac3" "%JOB%a0.ac3") DO @ECHO file '%%~A') > "%JOB%CONCATa0.txt" ffmpeg -y -safe 0 -f concat -i "%JOB%CONCATa0.txt" "%JOB%DELAYEDa0.ac3" (FOR %%A IN ("%JOB%DELAY6CH.ac3","%JOB%a1.ac3") DO @ECHO file '%%~A') > "%JOB%CONCATa1.txt" ffmpeg -y -safe 0 -f concat -i "%JOB%CONCATa1.txt" "%JOB%DELAYEDa1.ac3" -- Reino
