I am working on a planning a project that will take MKV files that I had made from a collection of DVDs - to convert them into files that I can play easily on my iPhone/iPad/Mac and via Plex on my Apple TV. Each episode/title is already a separate file.
In the past, I have had to configure each and every file one by one, and have had to manually reset each setting that I want to use.
Is there a way to do this in batch? Either via the GUI or Command Line?
Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.6.1
Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
MacOS 13.2.1 (22D68)
