 Then… make it not as complex.. remember: people actually have to use this
 tool.

 What possible tangible reason would there be to not pay companies what

 If the file I got isn’t an executable, why can I execute it? It’s just l
 “ffmpeg”, no file extension. I can execute it on Mac using Terminal.
