# FAQ

* Why is the app so large?

	- The Electron binaries that allow program to be run as a standalone app are large.

	- FFMPeg can be installed separately but can be up to 100MB.

* Avi file won't play

	- Although ffmpeg supports .avi files, Chrome does not support avi files natively.

* I can't save files when running `pnpm dev` dev mode.

	- This often occurs due to code editor (e.g. VSCode) privileges. Change program privileges, or use `pnpm run`, or run the built app.
