Hello there experts, I hope you can help me! <br />
<br />
Coming from a windows background I am having difficulty knowing how to run a shell script on Mac OSX. <br />
<br />
The equivalent .bat file contains:<br />
<br />
for %%X in (%*) do ffmpeg -i &quot;%%X&quot; -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset veryslow -tune fastdecode -profile:v main -coder 0 -g 6 -crf 24 -flags -loop &quot;%%X.mp4&quot;<br />
pause<br />
<br />
And is a script to convert all .mov files in the folder to .mp4 files.<br />
<br />
Would appreciate some advice on what I need to do - and please bear in mind I am new to Mac.<br />
<br />
Many thanks!!!<br />

Help with Shell Scripting on Mac OSX

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.
