Troubleshooting

• ffmpeg Not Found Error: Ensure that ffmpeg.exe is available in the temporary directory. The application should automatically handle extraction and deletion, but if errors persist, check file permissions.
• Video File Not Supported: Ensure your video file is in one of the supported formats (.mp4, .avi, .mkv, .webm).
• Compression Fails: If the compression process fails repeatedly, try lowering the target size.
