+Use ffmpeg to compress one or more video files.
+
+This script takes a list of video files and compresses them using the
+libsvtav1 codec for video and libopus for audio. The original files
+are removed after successful compression.
+
+Usage:
+    python comp.py [options] file1.mp4 file2.mov ...
+
+Examples:
+    # Compress two files with default settings (crf=36, preset=6)
+    python comp.py "Screen Recording 1.mp4" "Screen Recording 2.mp4"
+
+    # Compress all mp4 files in the current directory with a different crf
+    python comp.py --crf 40 *.mp4
+
+    # Compress a file with a different preset and crf
+    python comp.py --preset 8 --crf 32 my_video.mkv
