- overlays the opening title for the first 6 seconds: large title, then date/location on one line
- displays optional per-file captions at bottom center; use `|` to split caption lines
- adds persistent bottom-left title/date/place and bottom-right `@bubulescu` stamps
- writes safe ASCII text in rendered overlays and metadata, so special letters become readable equivalents like `Č` -> `C`, `å` -> `a`, `ø` -> `o`
- preserves special characters in rendered overlays and metadata
- uses safe ASCII only for generated filenames, so special letters become readable equivalents like `Č` -> `C`, `å` -> `a`, `ø` -> `o`
- embeds MP4 metadata: title, date, location, artist, comment, and creation_time
- writes an MP4 file named like `YYYYMMDD_title.mp4` in the current directory by default
- writes an MP4 file named like `YYYYMMDD_title.mp4` in the current directory by default; use `--out-dir DIR` to choose another output directory
- takes `YYYYMMDD` from the first picture/video metadata, falling back to file modification date
- uses local `ffmpeg/ffmpeg` and `ffmpeg/ffprobe` when present, otherwise system tools
