OK.  I think I get it.  It's kinda like dispatch-conf except it is for
files not lines in a file.  No 'merge' option tho. Kinda hard to merge a
video.  lol 

I may try that sometime.  I may copy the files to a different location
just in case I screw up something.  It won't be the real files so no
harm if I botch it.  This is mostly because I haven't seen it run
before.  I don't know what I'm doing.  ;-) 

Since I usually name the directory torrent, I may edit that part.  That
or change the name on my directories to temp. 

If you have other scripts, I'd like to see them.  Others might too. 
Someone may google for a way to do something and run up on them too.

P. S.  Now I'm trying to figure out how to change the resolution of all
videos in a directory.  Usually going from 1080p to 720p.  If you have a
script for that, awesome.  I'm currently using handbrake and it works
but there may be a better way.
