Scripts with no User Interface for scheduled and one off tasks

Encode all Episodes of TV series from ripped folder

This is a windows executable script to fully automate the process of encoding All titles from a disc.

It’s for anyone who wants to encode all titles on a DVD rip. Useful for anyone who has DVD’s ripped into Video_TS folder structure. For those of you who want to automatically encode all titles on say a TV series DVD rip, or all items on a Movie DVD (e.g. main movie, plus extras etc)

This uses makemkv to split the rip into titles as a temporary measure. The uses HandBrake to encode each title.

You end up with a folder of encoded content for each disc called: moviename_title01.m4v , moviename_title02.m4v etc.

You must have the following set up:

1. This script saved anywhere with its config.txt
2. handbrake installed
3. makemkv installed.
4. pre ripped DVD’s in the following structure:  \SomeMainfolder\MovieName\VIDEO_TS
5. My config.txt configured for your query and file extension

In use: Run it, sit back and wait. It knows what titles it has already encoded so you can run this many times on the same directory to get all completed.

Supports: any query you can generate from Handbrake , mkv, mp4, m4v extensions configurable.

Download it

Important: How to configure the config.txt file

It’s a simple text file, open in notepad

In the first line type your root source directory

In the second line, type your root directory for the final encoded files.

In the third line, paste your handbrake query (without the –o –i switches!)

In the fourth line type your three letter file extension: mkv, mp4 , m4v (no period !)
