🚀 How It Works

1. On first run, the app checks if ffmpeg is available.
2. If not, it:
   • On Windows: downloads from gyan.dev and extracts with bundled 7za.exe
   • On Linux: downloads static builds from johnvansickle.com
   • Fixes the folder structure automatically
3. You simply paste the YouTube link and download!
