This code will work for all the video files with extension .mp4. If the extension is something else, then change the first line.

files = dir('*.mp4');

for i=1:numel(files)
    current_path = fullfile(files(i).folder, files(i).name);
    new_folder = fullfile(files(i).folder, files(i).name(1:end-4));
    new_path = fullfile(files(i).folder, files(i).name(1:end-4), files(i).name);
    mkdir(new_folder);
    movefile(current_path, new_path, 'f')
end

Does all the video files in each folder have same name?

[Irfan Hussain]

No... having different names

[Ameer Hamza]

Gives structure of five folders. How do you decide which 5 video files should go in one folder.

[Irfan Hussain]

Videos folder 1

[Irfan Hussain]

Videos folder 2... rest of 3 folders having also differents names

[Irfan Hussain]

first video form folder 1 and first video of folder 2 (the output like that)
