Building tools to fuel fun projects
I finally managed to use all of the 12 cores on my Mac Pro
I'm really proud of that little script. I'm building out a bunch of custom transcoded videos with burned-in subtitles for a fun movie night project idea. The projector is 480p and the player only accepts 16GB cards, so smaller files are better. 
re: Explaining/Sharing the Code
@mawr I bet it's actually a BSD vs. GNU thing – so maybe your script'd actually work flawlessly on a(nother) BSD!
re: Explaining/Sharing the Code
@IceWolf It's possible it might! 
I know Apple has their own builds of some things that differ from both though so I never assume.

@mawr Just curious, do you use a tiling window manager (and if so, which one)?

@0xDEFACE This is just OS X- I just lined things up nicely 
Explaining/Sharing the Code
It takes a $SOURCE_VIDEO file and uses ffmpeg to get its resolution. If it’s more than 720p, it uses ffmpeg to re-encode it down to 480p, and in either case it burns in subtitles at the bottom of the screen, and saves the resulting file in a new place.
Here's the full code:

Note: Some modifications will be needed to use this on non-OS X based systems (to start, the sed arguments are different).
