Video Converter for DaVinci Resolve

This project aims to develop a standalone Python application to convert video files into formats highly compatible with DaVinci Resolve (Free edition on Linux). The goal is to provide a simple command-line tool that ensures optimal video quality, aspect ratio, and audio fidelity for editing workflows.

For a detailed breakdown of the project's goals, technical specifications, and development roadmap, please refer to the DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md file.
