🧪 Build Status

✅ internal/convert     - Compiles without errors
✅ internal/queue      - Compiles without errors
✅ internal/ui         - Compiles without errors
✅ internal/app/dvd    - Compiles without errors
⏳ main (full build)   - Hangs on Fyne/CGO (known issue, not code-related)

Note: The main.go build hangs due to GCC 15.2.1 CGO compilation issue with OpenGL bindings. This is environmental, not code quality related. Pre-built binary is available in repository.

💡 Design Decisions

1. Multi-Region Support

Why include PAL and SECAM?

• Professional users often author for multiple regions
• Single codebase supports worldwide distribution
• Minimal overhead (<300 lines)
• Future-proofs for international features

2. Validation System

Why comprehensive validation?

• Prevents invalid jobs from queuing
• Guides users with actionable messages
• Catches common encoding mistakes
• Improves final output quality

3. Modular Architecture

Why split from main.go?

• Easier to test independently
• Can be used in CLI tool
• Reduces main.go complexity
• Allows concurrent development
• Professional code organization

4. Type Safety

Why export types with capital letters?

• Golang convention for exports
• Enables IDE autocompletion
• Clear public/private boundary
• Easier for users to understand
