+# UsmToolkit
+
+Tool to convert USM video files into user-friendly formats.
+
+## Getting started
+
+Download the latest version and run `UsmToolkit get-dependencies`. This will download ffmpeg and vgmstream from the URLs provided in `deps.json`. These are neccessary for this tool to operate!
+
+After that, it's as easy as it can get.
+
+### Extracting
+```
+UsmToolkit extract <file/folder>
+```
+
+### Joining (aka converting)
+```
+UsmToolkit extract <file/folder> --join
+```
+
+For more informations run `UsmToolkit extract -h`.
+
+## Custom join parameter
+
+You should find `config.json` in the folder of the executable. With it, you can completly customize how the extracted file is processed by ffmpeg.
+The default configuration ships as follows:
+
+* Video: Will be copied
+* Audio: Re-encoded as AC3 at 640kb/s. If the file has 6 channels, they will be merged to 2
+* Output is a MP4 file
+
+You can change these settings to your likings, it's standard ffmpeg syntax.
