  2. Choose output goalBrowser playback, sharing, editing, archiving, and compression need different paths.
  3. Prefer copy when safeAvoid quality loss when the existing tracks already fit the target container.
  4. Use owner-side processingLarge files and precise media changes belong in FFmpeg or a trusted local workflow.

Can this run in the browser?

This page creates a plan and client-side helper output. Heavy media processing should run owner-side.

Quality changes only when re-encoding or compressing is required.
