I need to know (i miss if is avaible in Cineform's documentation)
command line to convert simple .mp4 to cineform.

I need to convert many files, every file is located in single subfolder...
script is the fast way to do that, but i don't know the right .exe to call to do that.

in past i used dpx2cf, and more... but what exe i must call for simple conversion .mp4 to CF?

hd link is not right solution, and in go pro studio i not found a good workflow for automated conversion and muxing on multiple folders.

There is no command line equivalent for HDLink or CineForm Studio, but your question is a first.
Most users give as grief for offer any command line tools and want GUI only. We use command line to get things prototyped fast, but never did that for streaming file formats.

i need to convert many clips from a camera that build complex folders structure, that i must keep to keep metadata, but it build this structure for every clips....
i'm going to convert over 4000 clips and navigation around 4000 folders is not confortable...
i hoped that i could build a simple script to load clips without change folders structure...
ok i do two script one to collect file on single folder, a second to restore original position of new cineform file.
