You seem to be running it in command.com. Type cmd in Start Run then type
For %A in (X:\Resampling\test\input\*.*) Do "C:\Tools\Converter_5_0\Converter.exe" -i "%A" -o "X:\Editing\output\%~nxA"
Not having your program makes it hard to test but this does work
for %A in (c:\windows\*.exe) do copy "%A" "c:\%~nxA"
and you get one line like this per file
C:\Documents and Settings\David Candy>copy "c:\windows\explorer.exe" "c:\explore
r.exe"
