Batch job for Windows Powershell Movies/TV Shows via Handbrake into iTunes autoMAGICALLY

#Before you run me, I would recommend running the following commands
#To run these, start up powershell, and, either set the variables as above, or execute these long hang

#This command will populate the initial tv show file
#get-childitem $tvsourcefolder -include *.mkv,*.avi,*.m4v,*.mp4 -recurse | foreach ($_) { $_.fullname } | Out-File $tvproxfile

#and this command will do the same for movies.. 
#get-childitem $moviesourcefolder -include *.mkv,*.avi,*.m4v,*.mp4 -recurse | where {$_.length -ge 100MB} | foreach ($_) {$_.fullname} | Out-File $movieproxfile

#After these files are populated, when this script runs, it'll only ever look for differences.

Intro

So I run a peculiar setup, ATV2 with my media coming from iTunes on a desktop, Windows 7 PC I never really touch
 anymore. I know I could JB the ATV, or I could replace the PC with a NAS or some shit .. anyway, I'm lazy.


...

But not so lazy not to figure out how to make a crappy powershell script, hook it up in task scheduler under hstart
 (http://www.ntwind.com/software/hstart.html), run it every 5 minutes against my TV / Movie folders, looking for new 
files, then automatically converting them (with Handbrake) into the right format, and then automatically 
adding them to iTunes.

.. Different kinda lazy really.
