## About

## What it does
Video Converter turns an uploaded video into a different format and returns the converted file as binary output. Send a video in the request body, choose one of the supported formats, and get the transformed video back.

Use it when you need to standardize uploads for playback, editing, or downstream processing. Supported output formats are `mp4`, `mp4-web`, `webm`, and `mov`. The `mp4-web` option uses H.264 with faststart for web playback, which is useful when you need videos to start quickly in browsers.

The input schema is simple: `file` for the source video and `format` for the target format. The endpoint accepts videos up to 100 MB, which makes it a fit for ingest pipelines, user-upload workflows, or media tools that need consistent output types before storage or delivery.
