Compress Video Files

compress.fish

# This script will loop through all files in the current directory and its subdirectories,
# and then will use ffmpeg to compress them using the H.265 codec.
# It will output the compressed files to a new directory called "optimized".
# This will retain the original directory structure, which is ideal for modifying video libraries like Plex.
