This script coordinates several tools to process recorded TV and save the files without commercials in a Plex compatible file structure.

The basic steps:

1. For each video file matching the pattern:
2. Find or create commercial file (using Comskip)
3. Find or create the subtitle file (using ccextractor)
4. Determine Series, Season, & Episode Number
5. Cut commercials out of video file & convert to h.264 w/ AAC audio
6. Cut commercials out of subtitles file
7. Save new video and new subtitles file to [Series]/Season #/[Series] - s##e## - [Episode].[ext]
