## Installation:
1. Install ffmpeg in your preferred way (I have installed it with winget, the Windows packet manager).

    For windows: `winget install ffmpeg `

2. Install the Python interpreter

3. Install the ffmpeg-python library:

    `pip install ffmpeg-python`

4. Clone the repository or download it as a ZIP file (if you have downloaded it as a ZIP, unzip it).

5. Run `main.py` with the python interpeter:

    `python main.py`

Done.

## Usage:
Watch [my YouTube video](https://youtu.be/10dh-1RmqeA) (in italian) for a demonstration on the usage

## Note:
After the first transfer has started a folder called preferences will be created in the same folder where main.py is located to store the program preferences. If this file is deleted or in corrupted the programm will try to load readable preferences and put the others as the default. If anything is readable the program will load all the default preferences. The next time a valid transfer has started preferences file is overwrited with the correct one.
