After finishing a recording, t-rec now asks if you also want to generate an MP4 video with a 10-second countdown timer. This makes it easy to get both GIF and MP4 formats without having to re-record. The prompt runs in a background thread, so users can answer while the GIF is being generated - no wasted waiting time. Behavior: - Shows "🎬 Also generate MP4 video? [y/N] (auto-skip in 10s):" - Press 'y' to generate MP4, 'n' or Enter to skip - Auto-skips after 10 seconds of no input - Skipped in quiet mode (-q) or non-interactive environments - Not shown if --video or --video-only was already specified Closes #219
