🧠 How It Works

ffmpeg -i input.mov -c:v copy -c:a copy output.mp4

• -c:v copy: Copies the video stream as-is
• -c:a copy: Copies the audio stream as-is

This avoids re-encoding, ensuring fast and lossless conversion.

💡 Suggestions for Improvement

• Add support for other formats (e.g., .avi, .mkv)
• Integrate a progress bar using tqdm
• Build a simple GUI using Tkinter or PyQt
