For all people interested, I made:

Bulk Video Converter
A flexible and featured Bash shellscript that recursively scans a folder for files to convert/re-encode to different codec/encoder using ffmpeg.
Tested on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS

Context
I am using this script inside a Ubuntu docker container running on my Synology DS720+ NAS (Intel Celeron J4125 4-core CPU + 6GB). It daily converts all the MPEG2 recordings made by NextPVR with my HDHomeRun tuner.
I am converting them to libx264 which is generally about ~7x times smaller and converts at a 2.4x speed.
Using libx265 it's about ~12x times smaller and converts at a 0.7x speed.

For more info, documentation of all settings and examples see

In addition to that, some programs only accept one input format. Others do not offer too many options for output formats. Others consume too many resources. I won't say anything about the interface of some programs... it's just a mess. Some converters are so tricky to use that you don't even know where to put the file. Fortunately, I found one converter, and this program has a user-friendly interface. So I don't have to bother with it.

Damn all these spam posts

Yeah, they've decided they really like this thread for some reason. I've banned several users that have posted on it.
