Package
The Windows x64 ZIP contains both VidChopper.exe and VidChopperCLI.exe, the Qt runtime required by the GUI, the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime, yaml-cpp.dll, notices, and the project license.
ffmpeg and ffprobe are intentionally not bundled. Install them separately and keep them on PATH, or configure their locations in the desktop application's Advanced Settings.
