So converting video files in this manner is mostly a Linux theme. +* Licensing: Will the entire source code have to be provided along side the downloadable package - or can it remain available as a Gitea repository for reference? +* Size of executable: We will have to test numerous iterations to lower the size of the finished product. However, I am also confident that Linux users that face the challenge of editing videos and recoding videos at a semi-regular rate will have enough storage space to handle a sizeable application if it solves the actual problem.
