I use mp3tag for renmaing my mp3 files.&nbsp; I love it because its very small and easy to use and uninstrusive.

&nbsp;

Is there something similar for renaming video files?&nbsp; I have some tv shows that need to be renamed.

I use ReNamer. &nbsp;It's not automatic, but it's plenty powerful for renaming all files in a folder, and subfolders if needed.&nbsp;

Not as far as I know, no. &nbsp;

Just another thought that came to mind, Sickbeard (I think), has naming functionality. The benefit it has over something like ReNamer is the Sickbeard will/can add the episode name to the filename. &nbsp;Where ReNamer works better for quick jobs.&nbsp;

I use Bulk Rename Utility ([http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk](http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk)) - no adware etc, very easy install and includes context menu support. I use it for renaming TV Shows episodes in bulk once they are ripped.
