Script to convert video files in bash

for i in *.mov;
do filename=$(basename "$i")
    extension="${filename##*.}"
    filename="${filename%.*}"
    echo "$filename"
    ffmpeg -i "$i" -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -c:a aac -q:a 100 "export_${filename}.mp4"
done

Found this code snippet on stack overflow. It worked really well to convert old files to mp4 format
