    I’m genuinely confused about the use cases you all seem to have. When are you sitting in a field on your phone trying desperately to convert a .avi to a .mkv?

    For desktops you just need to have ffmpeg or handbrake or ImageMagick installed - there’s nothing to “maintain”. Image conversion is as simple as convert test.jpg test.png.

        Installation is easy. But the moment you have to explain the chain of action of ffmpeg’s syntax… Grandma goes back to flappybird !

      I worked IT for a newspaper back when they were more relevant. The satelite offices and in-field work had a surprising amount of problems like that.
