It needs updating for v.28 if you want to use the entire shell as I added it when I was using .27. I have updated the shell for .28, and if you were interested in it for the rest of the shell, I’ll update it. NOTE that the shell currently only does handbrake, and not the transcode used to remove cuts.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Jay</div><div><br class=""></div><br class=""></body></html>
