Rewritten in Rust. Still shells out to ffmpeg and ffprobe; the file command is no longer needed.

Replacing an original now yields <name>.mp4 (an .mkv/.avi input no longer keeps its extension while holding MP4 data); a different existing <name>.mp4 is never overwritten
--keep keeps the original and writes <name>-720.mp4 next to it, never overwriting existing files (-720-1, ...)
Default output is faststart MP4 (--fragmented restores the old layout)
Exit code is 1 when any file failed, 130 when interrupted, 2 on usage errors; skipped files are no longer counted as successes
Videos are detected with ffprobe and a list of video extensions when scanning directories
Output never upscales; odd sizes are scaled to even dimensions instead of padded with black
Only the first video and first audio stream are kept (multichannel audio is downmixed to stereo); subtitles, data streams, attachments and chapters are dropped; creation_time is preserved

Rotation and non-square pixel aspect ratio are honoured when choosing portrait/landscape and size
HDR (PQ/HLG) sources are tone-mapped to SDR when ffmpeg has zscale and tonemap
Output is verified (decodes, duration matches) before the original is replaced; a result that is not smaller keeps the original unless --force
Work happens in a hidden temp file that is always cleaned up, including on Ctrl-C (exit 130); a second Ctrl-C exits immediately
Free-space and write-permission checks, a stall watchdog, and a VAAPI self-test with automatic render-node detection
Probe failures are reported and logged instead of files silently disappearing; explicit directory arguments are scanned
Options: -r/--recursive, -f/--force, --output-dir, --hw auto|off|force, --vaapi-device, --height, --max-fps, --crf, --preset, --audio-bitrate, --no-sharpen, --fragmented, -q/--quiet, --json (one JSON object per file plus a summary), --completions <shell>, --version
Unit tests, golden tests that pin the ffmpeg arguments to those captured from the 1.x Python tool, and end-to-end tests against generated clips; CI runs fmt, clippy and tests

Filenames containing [...], control characters or a leading - no longer break output or tool calls
Missing stream bitrate (MKV/WebM) is estimated from size and duration instead of forcing re-encode
Probe failures (0/0 frame rate, N/A duration, no video stream) no longer crash discovery or make files vanish silently
Progress no longer jumps to 100% after a failure
