Bash script to mass-convert HDV to x265

Hello everyone

I wrote a linux script to mass-convert dvgrab HDV rips to x265 videos.
It has been programmed in Arch Linux architecture (Manjaro), but it should work in Debian and Redhat/Fedora based distributions.
This is my first publication into a git repository, so be indulgent
If you are insterested in using or testing this script, please let me know.
Contributions to improve this script are welcome.

Some informations about it :

Convert your HDV video files (.m2t / .m2ts) to efficient x265 (HEVC) MKV files with AAC audio.
Optionally generate FFV1 lossless archival videos (with FLAC audio) and Opus audio tracks.
Designed for batch processing of camera‑captured HDV tapes.

The main purpose of this script is to get ride of interlaced material (real interlaced or progressive stored in interlaced format), as DV, HDV, MPEG2, MP2 are now obsolete.
We should be able to play our old movie camera recordings on modern hardware, and store them in lossless but deinterlaced archival format (ffv1).

My git repository is : https://codeberg.org/Aponia71/hdv-to-x265

Thanks to all people who helped me to write this script with their internet contributions/articles/posts ...

Hm, don't you like find + xargs + ffmpeg ?  I use this in a on-liner... hosted in my howto.txt :-)

OP is probably trying upscale videos he acquired illegally.

I had interest in this question.. then again I lost interest in the question again.

Baseless accusations against another forum user violate the forum Code of Conduct.

Furthermore, are tantamount to defamation.
