V4 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 av1. 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 non-av1 files to transcoding list).

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