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.

More than one media path?

I was curious if there's a way to add more than one media path to check for files to convert?

There's no way to natively add another path in the script, but if you created a copy of the script, pointed it at a different media path, and changed the log path, you could run it against a separate path. Unless you have a beast of a machine, I'd recommend running the scripts sequentially instead of concurrently. Two instances of ffmpeg or Handbrake encoding video at the same time is going to be pretty hard on a system.
