I need a bash script that will.
So here is what I made so far.

1. Convert video files to iPhone format
2. MV converted video to new directory (with domain.com attached to it)
4. Copy a NFO file (from another directory) and add some conversion information
5. Delete old directory
torrent stuff (rtorrent)
6. Make a torrent file out of new converted video directory

#!/bin/bash
# ffmpeg and mencoder script
# Grab thumb from avi, start encoding to ITU h264 using mencoder, ffmpeg is doing thumb processing

# Bash script for operating system Ubuntu 8.10 
# packages used : FFMPEG, MENCODER ,MPLAYER ENCODING ENGINE
# VIDEO CODEC ITU H264 AUDIO MP3

# Location of source videos READ this !!! add your user name !
sourcelocation="/var/www/videos/"
# Extension of source videos
sourceext="avi,mpg,mpeg,mov,rmvb,rm,ogm,4v

#http://thomer.com/howtos/ipod_video.html
find ${sourcelocation} -iname "*${sourceext}" -exec mp4ize {}.mp4
# Check to see if videos were encoded, then delete source vids and shutdown
if [ -e "${sourcelocation}/*.avi" ] && [ -e "${sourcelocation}/*.mp4]; then
    # Delete videos    
    rm ${sourcelocation}/*.avi
    rm ${sourcelocation}/*.mpeg
    rm ${sourcelocation}/*.mov
    rm ${sourcelocation}/*.mpg
    rm ${sourcelocation}/*.txt
    rm ${sourcelocation}/*.nfo
    #copys a txt file from my directory to sources directory
    cp /home/admin/file.txt ${sourcelocation}
    #moves directory
    mv ${sourcelocation} /home/admin/${sourcelocation}_domain.com
    #builds the torrent file using: http://claudiusmaximus.goto10.org/cm/torrent.html
    #http://www.torrent-invites.com/tutorials/52022-putty-complete-tutorial.html
    cd /home/admin
    mktorrent -v -p -a http://tracker.url -o ${sourcelocation}_domain.com.torrent ${sourcelocation}_domain.com
else
    echo "Encoding FAILED"
fi

exit

    rm ${sourcelocation}/*.avi
    rm ${sourcelocation}/*.mpeg
    rm ${sourcelocation}/*.mov
    rm ${sourcelocation}/*.mpg
    rm ${sourcelocation}/*.txt
    rm ${sourcelocation}/*.nfo

I noticed a missing quote at the end of sourceext... line, then also a missing quote in the "if..." line between mp4 and the closing square bracket and maybe a missing whitespace between the mentioned quote and closing square bracket.

    rm ${sourcelocation}/*.avi
    rm ${sourcelocation}/*.mpeg
    rm ${sourcelocation}/*.mov
    rm ${sourcelocation}/*.mpg
    rm ${sourcelocation}/*.txt
    rm ${sourcelocation}/*.nfo

for ext in avi mpeg mov mpg txt nfo; do rm ${sourcelocation}/*.$ext; done

ok thanks for that, I also updated the bash script to check if ffmpeg or handbrakecli is running. This is my first bash script.

I know {sourcelocation} is the directory, but I want the script to check for and {sourcelocation} subdirectory.

exit

Find command with -exec will be used as:

find find ${sourcelocation} -iname "*${sourceext}" -exec blabal {} blabla \;

if [ -e "${sourcelocation}/*.avi" ] && [ -e "${sourcelocation}/*.mp4 ]; then

Thanks, I figured I need the \; till later, but so far I got it to convert, it won't do the other functions.

Whenever I run the script, I get:

(handbrake correctly converts)

Rip done!
HandBrake has exited. 
/home/domz/everything: line 50: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/home/domz/everything: line 54: syntax error: unexpected end of file

run the script by

/bin/bash -x yourscript

thanks checking it now, what should I put in to delete the .avi from my .avi.mp4
cuz when it converts, it saves as full name with avi extension.:

blahblahblah.avi ----> blahblahblah.avi.mp4

Ok, so far I get...


(HandBrakeCli works fine)...

Rip done!
HandBrake has exited.
+ '[' -e '/home/domz/torrents/*.avi' ']'
+ echo 'Encoding FAILED'
Encoding FAILED
+ exit
