In reply to chandu. you can use the loops:


src_dir=~/test-dir
dest_dir=~/compressed-videos
for video in "$src_dir"/*.mp4; do
    dest_video="$dest_dir/$(basename "$video")_compressed.mp4"
    ffmpeg -i "$video" "$dest_video"
done

In reply to chandu. Sorry for being so late. I was little busy. To delete original files execute: find ~/test-dir -name '*.mp4' ! -name '*_compressed.mp4' -exec rm {} \; For being on safe side, you can use rm -i instead of rm to get confirmation before deleting the file.
