Hey nixers, I'm trying to figure out how to write a short script to convert all the media files in a directory and delete the old files.

I found this on the web looking for answers

PHP Code:
#!/bin/bash
for i in *.mkv; do
    ffmpeg -i "$i" -codec copy "${i%.*}.mp4"
done 

So, my question is, how do I add other file types to the fist line so that if I have a folder which contains .mkv & .webm files then both file types will be converted to .mp4.

Lastly, as this will create newly converted files, how can I have all old files deleted within this same script?
