Hi Dave,
you make subdirs if you have more than one acquisition of the same subject that you want to motion correct and average. It's a good idea to keep the dicom files in an orig/dicom dir so you can always get back to them. If that's the case, pick 1 file from the dicom series that you want to convert and run (from the subject's mri dir):
mri_convert orig/dicom/<one file>.dcm orig
or if you have multiple runs, but them in orig/001 etc... This will create a bunch of COR-* files.
cheers, Bruce

Hey guys,
I sent one messge before but it was very vague, but now that I am a little bit more knowledgeable about what I am doing, let me be more specific. I have a bunch of images (individual slices) in .dcm format. What EXACTLY should I type in the command line to convert these to .cor files? I've been fiddling with the mri_convert command, and I thought it worked at first, but the files themselves didn't say .cor after I was finished with the "conversion." Also, should I FIRST move the files into an orig directory that I have created, THEN convert them, visa versa, or does it not matter what order I do that in? When I convert the files, I dont know how to convert ALL of the slices in the folder, but I was rather trying to individually convert the files at first, which would take forever. I have gotten several errors wheile trying to convert, but mostly I get ones having to do with the output I am putting into the command.
One more thing. Suppose this converion/moving the files works...I am confused as to why you need to make subdirectories under the orig directory labled 001 002 003. Are there more than just 3 I am supposed to make, and what exactly do I put in these subcategories?
Once I get over this road block I should be alright because I was able to do everything properly with the bert file. Thanks.
