So I'm still using my original setup and have NOT learned the new flow system so i cannot help with that. My suggestion is to set up a test library and don't delete the source material. Watch some tutorials and work on single tracks. Get the video how you like it first then work on audio.
My tv shows are one library and my movies are another.
What's a library?
A library is basically just a folder or collection of folders you want to apply flows or rules to.
Should I add one library per TV Show?
I do one for Movies, one for Shows, one for Anime.
Transcode options
There are example flows, I would use one of those and just modify the options to suit your purpose if you are not a power user.
There are videos for setting it up. https://youtu.be/JFvkJeDQRBQ?t=259
Great thanks! I'll watch the video and see if it clarifies things.
Good luck!
I recently decided to dive a bit deeper into flows since the plugin stacks were failing on me sometimes. Cobbled together something from the examples provided, seems to work fine for me now. Depending the worker it runs on it tries to transcode with nvenc or qsv, if it fails or is not available the flow falls back to cpu transcode.
I find tdarr too much.
I had your same needs and ended up creating a bash script that run ffmpeg and has quite some flexibility.

You might want to change the ffmpeg default settings (its documented in the readme, just set some envs) because by default it encode in AV1 with mkv container at 720p, but all that can be easily changed.
