But the chances of you being able to achieve the same with the linked tool are also zero. That's all I am really saying. I'm not arguing that ffmpeg can get very complex (I was talking about "basic" ffmpeg usage in my original comment), just that `ff convert inputfile to ext` is not really simpler than `ffmpeg -i inputfile -o outputfile.ext`, which is all that this (this specific) tool is really doing.

Oh, well yes the ff tool shown here is a classic 80% kind of thing for sure . Claude OTOH will get you about 98% and can explain the options to you as well
