Is it possible to batch change multiple file extensions
Is there a way to batch change file extensions? I have more than 150 files on which I need to change the extension and it's a bit of a pain to do each one separately and then have to confirm it.
Thanks!

there are lots of file renamers [listed on macupdate|http://www.macupdate.com/search.php?keywords=rename&starget=google]. any one of them should be able to do that.

Did you cut and paste the terminal command, or type it? It's easy to get the wrong 'apostrophe' or put a space where there isn't one - I should have been clearer that the command line is very particular. Worth trying it again. It works like a charm for me.
Great suggestion. I found and just used [Name Munger|http://sonoragraphics.com/namemunger.html|Name Munger download page] from [Sonora Graphics|http://sonoragraphics.com/index.html|Sonora Graphics - World Class Support + Great Products] to rename my XV6800 videos from .mp4 to .3gp.
Andre, that's very cool !! though I don't understand much of what you wrote but it did the trick for me for my jpg files. Do you have any link where I can learn how to write such a code (basics first please)? Do you mind explaining it a bit?
Basically it is a simple loop. On each iteration, it looks at the next filename and stores it then renames that file, then it loops and increments to the next file, until there are no more to do.
