+# Church Archive Script
+
+### Instructions for archival helpers
+
+* Download everything
+* Extract everything into its own folder
+* Go into the church FTP server and grab a few files.
+  * Remember to put a .txt file or something, indicating you are encoding these.
+* Drag and drop the video files over `Encode.bat`
+* Upload the resulting `.archive.mkv` and `.web.webm` to the FTP archival folder.
+* Contact TheThing and let him know you're done :)
+
+### TL;DR
+
+Download script, download raw files, drag-and-drop raw files over `Encode.bat` and upload resulting files.
