+# Executables
+This directory contains executable scripts which are run on a day to day basis. To invoke these scripts from anywhere be sure to [add this directory to your PATH][1]
+
+# convertMedia Script
+convertMedia automates a number media commands by invoking the correct settings from [ffmpeg][2] and (optionally) [XLD][3].  This script can save a ton of time searching for the correct formats, encoders, and options withinn ffmpeg.  
+
+For Mac users, if you don't have ffmpeg installed, this script will install it with all necessary options using [Homebrew][4]
+
+Brief overview of features:
+
+* Resizing video
+* Converting formats (for example: FLAC to ALAC or WMV to MP4)
+* Changing bit rates on audio files
+* Performing actions on a single file, an entire directory, or only on files which match a certain format.
+
+### Examples of usage
+Search for all *.flac files in a directory and convert them to
+Apple Lossless (alac).  Once the conversion is complete, original files
+will be deleted.
+
+    `$ convertMedia -i flac -o alac --delete`
+
+Search for all 1080p files in a directory and downsize them to 720p.
+
+    `$ convertMedia --downsize720`
+
+Convert a Windows Media file (file.wmv) to h264 (mp4).
+
+    `$ convertMedia -o mp4 file.wmv`
+
+I did my best to write good help documentation so simply run `convertMedia -h` for usage information.
