"Path names couldn't be normalized (too long)...!"  error message using the
latest Cmpeg3.  It must be only something to do with the batch file creation
step and thus a problem with the Windows paths(?).
Here's the batch file creation path I'm using (same place for every other
file too): C:\mpgutil\avi2mpg\testcmpg.bat
Glad you put you're name and email into the program, you deserve to have it
shown.  Now if only I can get it to work right! Arg!
