F.A.Q.S:

• What is the output format? At the moment only mp4, but i add in nexts release WebM

• I only select 3 resolutions. Is posible to add custom resolution? Not at the moment. I add the 3 popular resolutions. Under 480p (858x480) the video is small, and upper 1080p (1920x1080) the video size is too big. Maybe in the future i add custom fields for resolution, video bitrate, etc.

• What Operative Systems support? It's avaliable for GNU/Linux, Windows and MacOS, but i do not use the 2 lasts S.O. and i can upload precompiled versions for this systems.

• What browser supports WebM and/or MP4?:

| browser | WebM | MP4 | |::|:----:|:---:| | Firefox | ✓ | ✓ | | Chrome | ✓ | ✓ | | Edge * | ✕ | ✓ | | Safari | ✕ | ✓ | | Opera Mini | ✕ | ✓ |

* Edge only support WebM with the VP9 video codec.
