Description

it should be possible to embed a ffmpeg/libav binary and do automatic transcoding

this should be done as a third party module (or set of modules) to keep the amount of code in this repo as low as possible

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to integrate ffmpeg/libav as a third party module in an Electron video player, possibly using Node.js bindings or spawning a process. Look into existing npm packages like fluent ffmpeg or node ffmpeg to simplify the implementation.
