Usage:
  $(basename "$0") [OPTIONS] PATH

Convert video files to mp4 format using ffmpeg.
PATH can be a single video file or a directory (will recurse into subdirectories).

Options:
  -c CRF       Quality level 0-51 (default: 23, lower = better quality)
  -p PRESET    Encoding preset (default: medium)
               Options: ultrafast, superfast, veryfast, faster, fast, medium, slow, slower, veryslow
  -d           Delete original file after successful conversion
  -h           Show this help

Examples:
  $(basename "$0") video.webm
  $(basename "$0") /path/to/videos/
  $(basename "$0") -c 20 -d /path/to/videos/
  $(basename "$0") -p slow -c 18 movie.mkv
