V3 USAGE: bash transcode.sh [num. transcodes]

Presumes you have ffmpeg (V > 4.4), ffprobe, bc, ssh, rsync, scp.

Will take in the files listed at $hostFile (default is /tmp/transcode/list.txt ) and transcode them to x265. It will attempt to identify and burn-in foreign- audio subtitle files (subtitle track < ~15% of the run time) if multiple subtitle files are specified. You can either run until all files are processed (without a following number); or for a specified number of loops.

At present time I only have PGS subs done (the ones in most DVDs and/or Blu-rays future progress would be other types).

Will use your ~.ssh/config file for the HostName, or you can use localhost if it will be contained on the same system. Comments and concerns? Leave 'em, don't know if I can address them, but there's a higher chance I'll address something that way anyway.

You can search for files using the findVideos.sh file, USAGE: bash findVideos.sh /top/dir/with/files

It will use find to locate all files of type (default .mkv) and check (using ffprobe) if is of type (default adds all h264 files to transcoding list).

Your best bet is St. Isidore (patron St. of computers and those that use them)
