WHAT IS THIS?

Text manual
So you have some downloaded files with names like this:

Jericho.S01E01.Pilot.HDTV.XviD-XOR.avi
Jericho.S01E02.Fallout.HDTV.XviD-XOR.avi
Jericho.S01E03.Four.Horsemen.HDTV.XviD-XOR.avi
Jericho.S01E04.The.Walls.of.Jericho.HDTV.XviD-LOL.avi
Jericho.S01E05.Federal.Response.HDTV.XviD-LOL.avi

First of all, replace all dots with spaces (Substitutions tab)
Then, replace " avi" with ".avi"(Substitutions tab)

Then go to Pattern tab.

Set original file name pattern to get series name, season, episode number, and episode title to:

{C} S{C}E{C} {X} HDTV{@}.avi

This will lead to this result (on third episode, for example):

{1} -> Jericho
{2} -> 01
{3} -> 03
{4} -> Four.Horsemen
	

So if you use this renamed file pattern:

{2}x{3} - {1} - {4}.avi

You will get:

01x01 - Jericho - Pilot.avi
01x02 - Jericho - Fallout.avi
01x03 - Jericho - Four Horsemen.avi
01x04 - Jericho - The Walls of Jericho.avi
01x05 - Jericho - Federal Response.avi
