Windows batch script that will compress a Plex TV recording. Requires HandBrakeCLI and FFmpeg.

Plex records a show as a transport stream (ts) file which can be rather large in size. Thankfully, Plex provides an option to run a post-processing script.

This script compresses the ts to an mp4 using handbrake then converts the mp4 back to a ts using ffmpeg. The original uncompressed ts is then overwritten with the newly compressed ts.
