    glad it was useful for you. Two more things: 1. instead of for directory in *; do and then checking it it's a directory, you can do for directory in */ ; do to match only directories. It's probably still worth checking if the dir is RW by you. 2. if you don't want to waste time transcoding files that have already been transcoded, add something like [[ -s "$directory/$output_file" ]] && continue after the output_file=... line.
