this is a script to render out video files from entire albums,
singles, or EPs. eventually it can be edited to be more robust
(such as automatically finding discogs/musicbrainz links) but
I think it's pretty damn good for now.
It's basically just an ffmpeg frontend with a few hardcoded options
that are suitable for this kind of thing.
