+# V2A
+
+v2a long "Video to Audio" is a video format playable in a Terminal, it uses ascii Characters to Render Content to the Terminal
+
+This seams oodly unprofesional but im really tired and i cant write a readme anymore so thats all you get, i put more readmes in each folder that explain what they do and how to build/use them.

+# V2A-Converter
+
+This is the Converter where you can convert mp4 files or other Media Formats to the v2a Format
+
+You will have to install ffmpeg if not already installed.
+
+Use the help argument to see the commands you can use.
+
+## How to build
+
+1. install rustup and with it cargo
+2. run `cargo build`or `cargo run <args>` to run it directly
+
+## Examples
+
+I put some pre converted files in the Examples Folder which i used to test the converter and player

+# V2A Player
+
+This is the player which you can use to play v2a files, currently thsi implemention is not stable and can have issues, it is experimental for now on.
+
+## How to Build
+
+1. Create a Venv
+2. install build via pip
