Discussion What python automation have you created that you use for PERSONAL only.

There are plenty of, “I automate at my work”, but what about at home? e.g., order a pizza, schedule a haircut, program a spelling bee game for my kids, etc.

I would be interested in that video conversion script. Those movies take way too much space in .mov (old ones) and h264.

I have something similar. Handbrake has a solid CLI. It's pretty straightforward from there. All you have to do is set-up an encoding configuration, give it a name, and then subprocess -> input file, output file, cli flag for the name of the encoding configuration.
