There are also many more [use cases](#typical-workflow). Everything is extremely fast because it does an almost direct data copy, fueled by the awesome FFmpeg which does all the grunt work.\n\n## Table of contents\n\n- [Features](#features)\n- [Example lossless use cases](#example-lossless-use-cases)\n- [Download](#download)\n- [Supported formats](#supported-formats)\n- [Documentation, usage \u0026 getting started](#documentation)\n- [Video de",
