[Old Thread] Bulk Converting Experiences

I have just aquired a Sony Reader and I am in the process of converting my collection of ebooks into .lrf format. I have found Calibre the best tool for this. I have been using Calibre to update the metadata and then running the conversion as a bulk job overnight. There are quite a few error messages, where files cannot be converted etc., it would be a nice feature if these could be put in a log file, especially when the bulk conversion is selected.
Another observation is that there are a number of files which are skipped, the "jobs" screen shows them as waiting, but nothing is happening. Manually stopping the jobs removes them from the list, but the hourglass keeps turning and the number of jobs remains at the outstanding amount. In all other aspects the software responds as if it has completed the tasks, other commands are accepted.
