Think of it as the box you stuff your media into. On top of that, I would rather not re-encode the video or audio, I just want to extract it and stick it into a different container. So an additional task is to extract just the audio into an audio container.

So I’m browsing YouTube the other day and I come across a catchy music video and I’d really like to download it and play it over and over again at home and while I’m out and about you know, to annoy people.
