Renaming recurively specified files

Question

My security cameras recorder (located in distant place), FTP`s to my server video files after any event. It automatically creates sudirs with name containing date of day. Using find and ffmpeg commands, server converts DAV file to AVI and remove DAV file. After that, each video file has name like this:

19.38.41-19.38.55[M][@0][0].dav.avi

I want to change above name to format like this:

19-38-41.avi

How can I do it in the same "find" command line

This is my find command syntax: find $katalog -type f -name "*.dav" -exec ffmpeg -y -i {} -vcodec libx264 -crf 24 {}.avi >/dev/null 2>&1 \; -exec rm -f {} \; — mackowiakp, Sep 28 '14 at 05:41

find -name '*.dav.avi' -execdir rename ... {} \;

See "Rename multiple files in Unix" for the rename syntax.

I try something like this: find $katalog -type f -name "*.dav.avi" -execdir rename 's/.dav//' {} ;\ but the result was: find, no argument for -execdir (translation from my language) – mackowiakp Sep 28 '14 at 06:00
