It is convinient to have a quick script that let convert zoo of various different formats like .webm, .mkv, .avi and other to .mp4, that is playable and supported on majority of devices. Like when you downloaded some videomeme and want to share it with friends in telegram, but telegram doesn't support .webm that well, especially on mobile, and after upload it appears as a file instead of conviniently playable video.

Degu is such a cute little animal. Not a mouse nor a rat, but a separate independent species of rodents related to the chinchilla, capybara and guinea pig. Degu reminds me of a platypus, which is like a mixture of different species. Degus have the muzzle of a capybara, the tail of a gerbil, and the habits of a chinchilla or squirrel. A degu can be recognized by the brush at the tip of the tail, the light fur around the eyes, the gray color of the skin, the fur over the paws and even the fingers, and what appear to be human-shaped ears.
