And I thought: Finally. A job for ffmpeg. young sheldon s02e19 ffmpeg

Sheldon is trying to document... something. (Honestly, with him, it’s either a scientific anomaly or a minor injustice committed by Missy.)

If you’ve never heard of ffmpeg , imagine a Swiss Army knife that can also perform open-heart surgery.
