Also you have to change the name! why is that? (i’m aware of what mpreg means)

[–] FizzyOrange@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

It's just not a very good name. Awkward even without the mpreg/preg thing. Steps on ffmpeg's toes too much. Just pick something unique. Videoh. Muxy. Movrify. Flippityflop, whatever. I thought about those names for literally 10 seconds. You can definitely do better than ffmpreg if you think harder!
