Luckly, the people at handbrake have already thought about that, and have created a command line version of the tool that can be scripted. For those that don't know, scripting is a generic term for taking something that we do on the computer, and then automating it in an attempt to reduce the amount of human interaction that is required.

In this case, we'll be automating the process of compressing movies in one folder, and then outputing them to an output folder.
