The following

will convert all .ext1 and .ext2 files in directory files/ to output directory files/converted/.

Options:
  -e, --ext TEXT  Comma seperated list of file extension(s) to look for
  -y, --force     A single count disables per-video prompts. A count of 2
                  disables all prompts.
