Running:
Code:
find <dir> -type f -name "*.mp4"

will list all the .mp4 files in dir or any number of subdirectories of <dir>, <dir> can be a space delimited list of directories.

So running:
Code:
find <dir> -type f -name "*.mp4" | awk '{ print "cp "$1" ~/Music" }' > tempscript.sh
./tempscript.sh

Will create script to copy all *.mp4 files found under <dir> into a folder called Music under your home directory and the run that script.
