Here's how you could create custom error classes in Node.js using latest ES6 / ES2015 syntax.

I've tried to make it as lean and unobtrusive as possible.

Defining our own base class for errors

errors/AppError.js

# Regex to convert keys to unquoted: '(include|match|captures|begin|end|beginCaptures|endCaptures|name|patterns|0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|comment|fileTypes|scopeName|repository|contentName|firstLineMatch|foldingStartMarker|foldingStopMarker)':

scopeName: 'source.<scope>' # <scope> should be a short, unique indicator for the language ("js", "php", "c", etc.)
name: '<name>' # The title that will show up in grammar selection and on your status bar.
fileTypes: [ # An array of file extensions.
  'txt'
  'exif'

Install FFmpeg with homebrew. You'll need to install it with a couple flags for webm and the AAC audio codec.

brew install ffmpeg --with-libvpx --with-libvorbis --with-fdk-aac --with-opus
