* **`ffprobe`:** (Already implicitly used) Part of the `ffmpeg` suite, essential for media analysis (e.g., video duration). Would be bundled alongside `ffmpeg`.
* **`mediainfo`:** A powerful command-line tool for detailed media file information. Could be integrated for advanced diagnostics or user-facing metadata display.
* **`exiftool`:** For comprehensive metadata handling. Relevant if "Metadata Preservation" becomes a core feature.
### Questions for Challenges with bundling
* Cross platform development is currently delayed until after final stages of Linux project.
Reason is, among other things, that Windows do not see the same restrictions as Linux users meet in this actual field. 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.
