@Chubler_XL Thanks! I don't have the time right now to dive all the way in but just playing with the find command and digging through its manual...thanks so much. I'll let you know.

---------- Post updated at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous update was at 05:39 PM ----------

So the find command prints out all of the ts files, and the script works when I run it, but it stops after the first encode. I'm not sure why. Is it something to do with handbrakecli coming back and basically saying "hey i'm done" causing the script to then think that it too is done?
Heres the output for the end:

Code:

Muxing: this may take awhile...[00:44:05] mux: track 0, 133307 frames, 1434924901 bytes, 2520.47 kbps, fifo 2048
 [00:44:05] mux: track 1, 213492 frames, 93191479 bytes, 163.69 kbps, fifo 4096
[00:44:05] mux: track 2, 142325 frames, 218611200 bytes, 383.99 kbps, fifo 2048
[00:44:05] libhb: work result = 0

Encode done!

HandBrake has exited.
 rhys@odin:~$

and here's what I ran. a couple small changes, one to correct a mistake in what I originally posted, and a change to the path to limit the number of tracks it would find.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

SRC=./SOURCE_FOLDER/
DEST=./DESTINATION_FOLDER/
DEST_EXT=mp4
#HANDBRAKE_CLI=/Applications/HandBrakeCLI
PRESET="Roku 720p30 Surround"


find '/mnt/raid/Kids Movies' -iname "*.ts" -print | while read filepath
do
    LOCATION=${filepath%/*}  # Delete everything in $filepath from last slash to end and store in LOCATION
    FILENAME=${filepath##*/} # Delete everything in $filepath from front to last slash and store in FILENAME
    SRC=${LOCATION}
    DEST=${FILENAME%.*}      # Delete everything in $FILENAME from last dot to end and store in DEST

    HandBrakeCLI -i "$SRC/$FILENAME" -o "$SRC/${DEST}.${DEST_EXT}" --preset="$PRESET"
    if [ -s "$SRC/${DEST}.${DEST_EXT}" ]    # File exists and has size greater than zero
    then
        rm "$filepath"
    fi
done

It should have moved on to the second movie in the folder with the matching .ts extension, but it stopped after the first one.

I'm assuming that the done is the closer of the while loop and that it should hit done and move back to the while (so long as there is another input).

Thanks for any help.
