Change Log for Revised Script

New Features:

 * Custom FFmpeg Options: The script now allows users to override default FFmpeg options with their own custom command-line arguments, providing greater flexibility for advanced users.

 * Improved Error Handling: The script now includes more robust error handling to provide clearer feedback in case of unexpected issues.

Note: The script's core functionality, including video and audio encoding, resolution and frame rate options, bitrate control, and dependency management, remains unchanged from the previous version.

Technical Changes in the Revised Script

1. Streamlined Dependency Checking:

 * The script now combines the dependency checking and update steps into a single pkg update && pkg upgrade -y command, making it more concise and efficient.

2. Simplified File Handling:

 * The script has been optimized to use a single find command to locate both audio and video files, reducing redundancy and improving performance.

 * The -iname pattern has been consolidated to include all supported file extensions, simplifying the file matching process.

3. Combined Audio and Video Processing:

 * The process_audio and process_video functions have been merged into a single process_media function to handle both audio and video files in a unified manner.

 * This reduces code duplication and improves maintainability.

4. Enhanced Error Handling:

 * The script now includes a more robust check_for_killed_message function to detect and handle cases where the encoding process is unexpectedly terminated.

 * This provides clearer feedback to the user and helps prevent unexpected errors.

5. Refactored Function Calls:

 * The process_media function now directly handles both audio and video files, eliminating the need for separate function calls.

 * This simplifies the control flow and makes the script easier to understand.

6. Improved Code Readability:

 * The script has been cleaned up to improve code readability and maintainability. This includes:

   * Consistent indentation and formatting

   * Clear variable naming

   * Concise and well-structured code blocks

These technical changes have resulted in a more efficient, streamlined, and easier-to-maintain script.
