  720p.lua [tune=film] [threads=1]

Converts everything in the local directory to 720p MP4s, placed in
"./720p-output". (Defaults to using only a single thread to reduce impact on
the system.)

[tune]:    Improve encoding by specifying type of video. "film" is the default.
           Can be "grain" for grainy sources, "animation", or "stillimage".
[threads]: Number of threads ffmpeg will be assigned.
           If a non-number value, ffmpeg's -threads flag will not be used.
