how it works

the backend server(server.js) takes care of finding target files under given directories to search for, manage work queue which does the actual vidoe conversion one at a time.

the frontend server takes care of showing the current work status of video conversion, and allow to add/remove files to convert. The frontend will poll to backend server to fetch work status and show updates.
