Vidmerger
A wrapper around FFmpeg which simplifies merging of multiple videos.
## ๐ What is this exactly?
Vidmerger is a command-line-tool which uses **ffmpeg** to merge multiple video-files with the same file-extension into one file, for example running `vidmerger .` on mp4 files would create a merged video called `output.mp4` ๐ฃ
Here is the usage help of vidmerger ๐ค
```shell
A wrapper around ffmpeg which simplifies merging multiple videos ๐ Everything in between the first `-` till the fill extension of the input files will be used as chapter titles ๐.
Usage: vidmerger [OPTIONS]
Arguments:
Sets the input file to use
Options:
-f, --format Specifies which formats should be merged individually, the default is ๐ 3g2,3gp,aac,ac3,alac,amr,ape,au,avi,awb,dts,f4a,f4b,f4p,f4v,flac,flv,m4a,m4b,m4p,m4r,m4v,mkv,mov,mp2,mp3,mp4,mpeg,mpg,oga,ogg,ogm,ogv,ogx,opus,pcm,spx,wav,webm,wma,wmv
--fps Generates videos inside a temporary folder with this fps value and merges them
--shutdown For doing a shutdown at the end (needs sudo)
--skip-fps-changer Skips the fps changer
-y, --yes Skips confirmation of merge order
--verbose Prints detailed logs
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version

| Feature | Description |
| :---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Selector | Iterates through [this list of file endings](src/main.rs#L34), selects all files which matches with the current file ending except ones which start with a dot. The list can be overwritten by `--format` or `-f`, example: `--format mp4,mkv`. |
| FPS_Changer | After detecting not matching fps values, it scales all the higher fps videos down to the lowest detecting fps value. Can be skipped by `--skip-fps-changer`. The desired fps value can be set by `--fps`, example: `--fps 23.976`. |
| Merger | Finally, it merges the videos and adds chapters. Chapter titles are automatically extracted from the input file names โ specifically, the text between the first dash and the file extension. Example: `Video_A - Chapter 1.mp4`. |
