- Convert single DAV files to MP4 format
- Batch conversion of entire directories
- Progress tracking during conversion
- Preserve original video properties (FPS, resolution)
- Simple command-line interface
- Error handling and validation
- Automatic output filename generation
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.6 or higher
- OpenCV (opencv-python)
