 ## Encoding
 
 During encoding (conversion), high **CPU** and **GPU** usage is normal. Make sure that you only run the script if no other graphics processes are running on the computer. (Example computer games)
 
 The script converts the files next to the original with '-HEVC' at the end or by replacing the string x264 (old) in the file name with x265.
 After conversion, a test of the new video file is performed to ensure its integrity.
-If this test is successful, the old file is deleted. 
+If this test is successful, the old file is deleted.
 If not, the failed conversion file is deleted and logged.
