This looks good! There are other useful commands, such as "ionice" or "taskset". I think we could generalize this, by adding "modifier options" which would be appended at the start of FFMPeg.arguments. What do you think? |

Niceness allows a process to have a lower or higher priority on Unix-like systems, this is useful to prevent ffmpeg from hogging all CPU resources in case of multiple concurrent conversions.
This PR adds a
nicenessparameter to the FFmpeg class constructor, which sets the niceness of the ffmpeg process that will be spawned. It also works on Windows, throughcreationflagsand process priority.
