Grab ffmpeg from https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html

It's a command line tool which means you will have to type things with your keyboard instead of clicking on buttons.

The most trivial operation would be converting gifs:

ffmpeg -i your_gif.gif -c:v libvpx -crf 12 -b:v 500K output.webm

• -crf values can go from 4 to 63. Lower values mean better quality.
• -b:v is the maximum allowed bitrate. Higher means better quality.

Ever had a mysqldump of utf8 data stored in latin1 tables, dumped in utf8 and 
munged with windows cp1252? 

If so this is your friend. Just pipe it through this little baby and spare 
yourself hours of unicode hell- it'll take your dirt and spit out clean utf8.

You can also import it and use it in your python code.
