How do I batch move segments of text from the beginning of a filename to the end just B4 the extension with 2 or more filenames different lengths?

For example:

Changing...

(1997) Rammstein- Engel.mp4
(1998) Rammstein - Du Reicht So Gut.mp4

...to...

Rammstein- Engel (1997).mp4
Rammstein - Du Reicht So Gut (1998).mp4


(Augment): Just noticed I asked a similar question B4. Anywho, there's gotta be a way to do this.

To be on the save side, and work only on files which really starts with '(' and four digits, better use this:

RULE:
match four digits in parentheses at begin, and move them to the end of the string
