I'm looking for an application that will automatically rename a recorded TV episode to the correct name.

I know it's possible because there are quite a few programs that will detect what the right episode name is, but they won't let me rename it.

My efforts of using Google to find a program that will do this have turned up nothing.

An example of what I mean is the following:
Family Guy_TOON_2009_10_22_22_00_01 - DVRMS

Besides knowing that it is Family Guy, I have no idea what the episode name is. (The episode name is "And The Wiener Is..." in case you are curious)

So is there any feasible way of doing this, besides going through and manually renaming all of them?

I figured it out myself actually.

Following This Guide, I was able to create a batch file that would execute those commands properly and convert them.
