run command and make sure it ends before continuing

Question

hi

i am running a command line program from inside my c# code behind page. the command looks like so.

String runMe = baseDir + @"Bin\ffmpeg.exe"; 
String convertVideo = " -i \"" + fullFileName + "\"  -ab 64 -ar 44100 -b 200 -y -f flv  \"" + fullFileNameWOextension + ".flv\" ";
String makeImages = " -i \"" + fullFileName + "\" -r 1 -ss 00:00:01 -t 00:00:15 -f image2 -s 120x96 \"" + imagesPath + "" + filename.Substring(0, filename.IndexOf(".")) + "_images%05d.jpeg\"";
EdgeCastHelper.ExecuteCommandSync(runMe, convertVideo);
EdgeCastHelper.ExecuteCommandSync(runMe, makeImages);

There are some bits missing which are passed in as parameters. Once i have converted the video i upload it to separate file server.

What i would like to know: Is there a way to stop the upload process happening until the exe has run its course, ie fully converted the video.

I'm not sure if you have access to change the EdgeCastHelper.ExecuteCommandSync method, but there is a Process.WaitForExit method.
