I have a batch of mkv video files I would like to transcode to a more compressed format. After spending a significant amount of time experimenting with various parameters I think I have found the handbrake settings that give the best compromise. I now want to construct a simple bash script that will scan the directory containing the original mkv files, recreate the directory tree and then transcode them into the new directory. I then need to alter the file name to replace the underscores with spaces and add the episode number to the beginning based on the original file name.
where the s01 represents season 1 and e01 or e02 represent episode in the season as per thetvdb.com. I would like to replicate this directory structure and change the file name to add the season number and episode number to the front of the file based on the sXX and eXX values, so that the new structure looks like:
#!/bin/bash
sourcedir="/media/video/original_series"
destdir="/media/video/transcoded_series"
cd "$sourcedir"
for i in *.mkv; do
HandBrakeCLI -i "$i" -o "$destdir/${i%.*}.mp4" -e x264 -q 20.0 -E copy -B auto -6 auto -R Auto -D 0.0 \
-f mkv --detelecine --decomb --loose-anamorphic -m -x b-adapt=2:rc-lookahead=50
done
but it is not recursive, I have no idea how to recreate the directory tree and no idea how to alter the file names
I would be really grateful for some (a lot of) help!
