Bulk converting MOV files to MP4 using ffmpeg

Made for personal use, for ease of viewing on Windows 10's proprietary app "Movies & TV". (Instead of using VLC media player)

Update: Since MOV files are now playable under Windows 10, this repo is now outdated.

For non-technical people:

  1. Download ffmpeg https://www.wikihow.com/Install-FFmpeg-on-Windows
  2. Copy the bash script file (convert.sh) into the directory with MOV files.
  3. Open Windows Powershell, navigate to the directory with MOV files by typing and entering the command cd <directory> like so:

cd C:\Users\jina2k\Downloads\exampledirectory

then type and enter the command bash ./convert.sh
