-# This is a simple tool that will convert your .mp4 videos into format that davinci resolve on linux uses
+# Davinci Video Converter
+
+This is a simple tool that converts your `.mp4` videos into a format that DaVinci Resolve uses on Linux. The application utilizes `ffmpeg` for video conversion.
+
+## Features
+
+- Convert `.mp4` videos to DNxHD format.
+- Simple command-line interface for user input.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before building and running the application, ensure you have the following installed:
+
+- `g++` (GNU C++ Compiler)
+- `make` (Build automation tool)
+- `ffmpeg` (Multimedia framework for handling video, audio, and other multimedia files)
+
+## Installation
+
+### Using the Build Script
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/DavinciVideoConverter.git
+   cd DavinciVideoConverter
+   ```
+
+2. Run the build script to install dependencies and build the project:
+   ```bash
+   ./build.sh
+   ```
+
+   This script will automatically install the required dependencies based on your Linux distribution and build the project. It will also install the application to `/usr/bin`, making it accessible from anywhere.
+
+### Manual Installation
+
+If you prefer to install manually, follow these steps:
+
+1. Install the required dependencies (if not already installed):
+   - For Debian-based systems:
+     ```bash
+     sudo apt-get install -y build-essential ffmpeg
+     ```
+   - For Red Hat-based systems:
+     ```bash
+     sudo dnf install -y gcc-c++ ffmpeg make
+     ```
+   - For Arch Linux:
+     ```bash
+     sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm base-devel ffmpeg
+     ```
+   - For openSUSE:
+     ```bash
+     sudo zypper install -y gcc-c++ ffmpeg make
+     ```
+   - For Alpine Linux:
+     ```bash
+     sudo apk add --no-cache g++ ffmpeg make
+     ```
+
+2. Build the project using `make`:
+   ```bash
+   make
+   ```
+
+   This will create an executable named `davinci-convert` in the `output` directory.
+
+3. Install the application:
+   ```bash
+   sudo make install
+   ```
+
+## Running the Program
+
+To run the program, use the following command:
+
+```bash
+./output/davinci-convert
+```
+
+### Usage
+
+1. When prompted, enter the input file path of the `.mp4` video you want to convert.
+2. Enter the desired output file path (including the filename and extension) for the converted video.
+3. The program will start the conversion process. You will see messages indicating the progress.
+4. Once the conversion is complete, you will receive a success message.
+
+### Cleaning Up
+
+To clean up the generated files (object files and the executable), run:
+```bash
+make clean
+```
