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).

If you don't understand all that technical jargon, **it basically allows you to convert videos using the full capacity of your computer**, which results in much faster conversion. It runs on your computer (or a server somewhere, if you know what you're doing), and the VERT web interface reaches out to it in order to convert your videos. @@ -6,4 +6,4 @@ We host an official instance of [`vertd`](https://github.com/VERT-sh/vertd) so y - Download the latest release of `vertd` for your machine [here](https://github.com/VERT-sh/vertd/releases) - Run the server - Connect the VERT UI to your local `vertd` instance by entering its IP & port - - By default, `vertd` runs a HTTP server on port `24153`, so you would put `http://localhost:24153` in the "Instance URL" setting found in VERT's settings \ No newline at end of file + - By default, `vertd` runs a HTTP server on port `24153`, so you would put `http://localhost:24153` in the "Instance URL" setting found in VERT's settings (assuming you are running it on your own PC) \ No newline at end of file
