UltimateCompressor

Description

A bash script to convert all your video/image files from a folder, into the most efficient way to compress them.

Known Bugs

Right now the compressor can't read the files that have spaces in them, I suggest you run this command in the folder with your files

for f in *; do mv "$f" `echo $f | tr ' ' '_'`; done

Parameters

-i  input, takes a directory
-o  output, takes a directory
-q  quallity, it's only for the webp right now ( higher = better | 0 - 100 )
-v  verbose

Defaults

-i - "./"

-o - "./"

-q - "40"

-v - "0"
