I agree, but to be fair this is how I would code it, too. I would have probably bundled the Python interpreter and only downloaded the FFmpeg binary (because of its license), but that's a relatively minor difference.

Do.. people not already have ffmpeg on their machines? In that case it should use the system package manager.
