This is because video conversion is hard to do in a browser as it uses a lot of resources, and will end up running very slowly (if it even works at all). +On VERT, video processing is done locally in your browser whenever possible using [Mediabunny](https://mediabunny.dev). However, some conversions may require server-side processing if it's unsupported or too slow to do it in the browser for some reason. -Our answer to this is [`vertd`](https://github.com/VERT-sh/vertd), which is a simple FFmpeg wrapper built in Rust.
