If you use Exec (which is not the same as Unix exec()), you can eliminate quoting altogether. http://gambasdoc.org/help/lang/exec It takes an array, not a single string, and there's no shell redirection because it doesn't invoke a shell. But you can just ignore the Read events the process raises, and handle writing the log file (or doing something fancier, I can't remember whether mplex provides useful progress notifications and I don't seem to have any mpeg streams around that are old enough for it to handle... ffmpeg definitely does, though) in the Error event handler. So in your case it would be something like: Dim mplex as Process mplex = Exec [ "mplex", "-f", "8", "-o ", sCombinedPath, sVideoPath, sAudioPath ] Public Sub mplex_Error(output) ' append output to the log file, or parse it for use in a progress bar or whatever End I haven't tested this code, but you get the idea.
