This Powershell script will recursively search through a user-defined file path and convert all videos of user-specified file types to MP4 with H264 video and AAC audio using ffmpeg. The purpose of this script is to reduce transcoding CPU load on a media server like Plex or Emby and increase video compatibility across platforms.

How do you keep the original files after conversion? #76

On a couple of occasions the conversion script messed up the media file. I want to be able to keep the originals in case the converted file turns bad. How do I do this?

You can accomplish by setting use_out_path=true in the config file. This will output converted files to a separate directory of your choosing while keeping the original files untouched.
