I don't use FFmpeg for transcoding, more for stream manipulation and frame/stream/subtitle extraction and related tasks, so unfortunately Handbrake isn't really a viable solution.

Uh-huh. Then perhaps they shouldn't be touting Swiss privacy laws like they're some holy golden shield. And once again: > Why's a privacy-first service logging IPs in the first place?

It's kind of disingenuous to keep touting "Swiss privacy laws" as some sort of selling point on their homepage, when shit like this happens https://techcrunch.com/2021/09/06/protonmail-logged-ip
