Like, if I say "use 16 threads" your ass better chop my file into 16 chunks and hurt my CPUs. ffmpeg totally ignores it. I say, "use video acceleration" you better also do that acceleration on all those threads. I say "just flip the video" you better not also compress it.

But here's ffmpeg: "Oh you want videotoolbox on 16 threads to flip this video 180? How about you get 1980s video quality on 1 cpu and go fuck yourself."

Meanwhile, I load and flip the video manually in Davinci Resolve and it punishes my machine and finishes the job in 1/4th the time. If it weren't for the fact that ffmpeg is command line I'd just use DR.

Additionally, I want to copy the original video's everything, just flip the video. ffmpeg requires options galore to make it stop compressing my videos. Eat a lawnmower you asshole and stop touching my quality. Now I'm just going to use Davinci Resolve. I'd be done now.

Wait a minute! Why the hell do I even need to reprocess video to flip it? Why can't I just tag it with the "it's fucking flipped" metadata and let the computers figure it out?
