PowerShell port of Don Melton's encode.sh script (https://gist.github.com/donmelton/5734177) to encode video files with HandbrakeCLI. Some things like subtitle support weren't migrated as I don't care for them to be burned in and the Apple TV doesn't support them otherwise. Don's settings are kept intact, with the exception of upping the bitrate…
<#
I added the optional decomb PowerShell parameter than activates "--decomb" in Handbrake.
I was running into interlace issues encoding an animated TV show - Sealab 2021. I don't
think you will need it unless you're enoding similar content. For everything else I
leave it off ($false) by default.
Improved the funcationality of the script to take either a single MKV file or a folder
of MKV files.
