Function Get-GDShowEncoding {
<#
.Synopsis
   Gets the encoding extension from all Dead Shows and displays them
.DESCRIPTION
   The script gets the directories, and using a Hash Table gets a count
   of the use of each extension in all the folders. This script helps
   me to ensure that the final extension in every GD show meets my
   current naming convention.
