SlimeCodec Convert v0.5.0-trial (Windows x64, CLI + GUI)
========================================================

NormMAP-guided H.264/AV1 re-encoder — commutator-norm driven bit allocation.

This is the TRIAL build. The "SLIMECODEC TRIAL" watermark is drawn directly
into the Y plane by the binary itself (pure Rust). NO ffmpeg.exe is needed
or shipped — the bundled DLLs are the FFmpeg shared libraries that
SlimeCodec uses internally for video decode/encode.

CONTENTS
--------
slimecodec-gui.exe       — graphical front-end (double-click to launch)
slimecodec-convert.exe   — CLI binary
*.dll                    — FFmpeg n7.1 shared libraries (used by the
                           binaries' own ffmpeg-next bindings for codec
                           work; do not delete)
README.txt               — this file

INSTALL
-------
  1. Unzip slimecodec-convert-win64-gui-v0.5.0-trial.zip
  2. Double-click slimecodec-gui.exe   (GUI) — or use the CLI as below.

The DLLs must stay in the same folder as the .exe files. Nothing else
needs to be installed (no ffmpeg PATH setup, no separate downloads).

USAGE
-----
GUI: double-click slimecodec-gui.exe, pick the input/output files, choose
     codec/strength/adaptive options, press Start.

CLI: .\slimecodec-convert.exe input.mp4 -o output.mp4 --strength 0.15 --adaptive

The first run starts the 30-day trial and locks the binary to this machine
(via HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\MachineGuid).

PRODUCTION
----------
The paid build skips the in-process watermark draw entirely.
