  This isn’t better than Handbrake. It’s simpler, though. Also, as I said in another comment, I wanted to see if I could get it to work - it was as much personal challenge as anything.

  And I got it working, and I’m proud of my dumb little first project, so I posted about it. There seem to be some people think I shouldn’t have done that last bit, though.

    To be clear, I’m not trying to discourage you from posting about your project and I think you should always pursue such personal challenges.

    I also think it helps others better contextualize your project if you include a bit in your post about your motivation (like in your reply).

    To me, it’s also very nice to mention alternatives you are aware of and how your project compares to them. “It’s doesn’t do as much as Handbrake but it’s simpler” is a selling point for some people.

      Oh! Apologies, I want directing that at you. I see how it came off that way though; my tone was meant to be self-deprecating. By the last bit I just meant I saw a downvote or two. Could be any reason for those, or none at all.
