Thanks,
this worked but with a slightly different sequence:

- No longer enter screen manually
- Use the command you gave to start the screen session with my command running
and stay in the main terminal
- I did not use the ; exit at the end anymore
- The video conversion started OK
- At the end of the script the screen terminated

So this is really an improvement on my job sequence!

Thanks again!

Now I have created an alias for 'screen -d -m' so it will be even simpler to
use.
