Hi fellow sailors,

i have lots of downloaded... ISOs... that i need to converto to save space. I would like to make them all of the same size, let's say 720p, and same format, let's say h265.

I am on linux and the... ISOs... are sorted into a neatly named hierarchy of sub-folderds, which i want to preserve too. What is the best tool (CLI) for the scope? I can use ffmpeg with a bash script, but is there anything better suited?

I've been using a for loop with ffmpeg to convert to AV1

I start in the series root folder and it iterates through each seasons subfolder

for f in ./**/*.mkv; do
      ffmpeg -i "$f" -c:v libsvtav1 -crf 0 "{f%.*}.av1.mkv"; done

Since I'm happy with the quality of everything so far, I've added this to the start to make it easier to delete the old files

for f in ./**/*.mkv; do
      mv "$f" "${f%.*}.xyz.mkv"; done

And at the end I've added this to delete the old files

for f in ./**/*.xyz.mkv; do
      rm " $f"; done
