Usage:
  scripts/mkv-to-readme-video.sh [--force] <input.mkv>

Description:
  Generates two browser-friendly files next to the input file:
  - <name>.mp4  (H.264 + AAC, prefers NVIDIA GPU if available)
  - <name>.webm (AV1/VP9 + Opus, prefers NVIDIA GPU if available)
  - <name>.gif  (palette-optimised, 15 fps)

Options:
  -f, --force  Overwrite existing output files

Encoding profile:
  - Crop: 1920x1080 at x=760 y=180
  - MP4:  H.264 + AAC
  - WebM: AV1/VP9 + Opus at 30 fps
