I output the file name, start time, end time and elapsed time for the table of contents creation. This output looks like this:

*** Update 2010/05/28 ***
I added a little logic to the beginning of the script that checks for the presence of a single argument to the script. That argument is the name of a single file to convert. So now, you have two choices:
1) convert a list of mpeg files as specified in the LIST variable or
2) convert a single file via the command line like so:
./tocMaker.sh videoToConvert.m2t
*** end update ***
Here is the script:
#!/bin/bash
#
# tocMaker.sh
# Author: SCF
# Website: http://crazedmuleproductions.blogspot.com
#
# Purpose: This script builds the table of contents files for a list of mpeg files
#
# Input: List of mpeg files as specified in the LIST variable or a single file via command line like so:
# ./tocMaker.sh videoToConvert.m2t
#
# Output: Runs mpeg3toc and puts toc's in your users' .bcast directory
#

then

echo "converting $LIST"

function dt {

echo $DATE

function st {

PWD=$(pwd)
DIR=$(echo $PWD | sed 's/\//_/g' | sed 's/^_//g')
SCRIPTSTART=$(dt)
printf "%13s %32s\n" "SCRIPTSTART:" $SCRIPTSTART
for FILE in $(ls -1 $LIST)

NEWFILE=$(echo $FILE | sed 's/\./_/g')

END=$(dt)

ELAPSED=$(expr $COUNTFINISH - $COUNTBEGIN)
printf "%13s %32s %11s %15s %11s %15s %11s %7d\n" "FILE:" $FILE "START:" $START "END:" $END "TIME(s):" $ELAPSED
