Usage

• convertVideo(file, compression=1) converts mp4 file to braille frames. Compression skips frames, save E.G. fps, frames = convertVideo(videoFile, compression=2)
• playVideo(fps, frames, audioFile = None, save=False) plays braille video using pygame, more accurate than terminal. Save will save each frame to a folder called frames, this if for use with makeMP4() E.G. playVideo(fps, frames, audioFile=audioFile)
• playVideoTerminal(fps, frames) plays braille video using terminal. E.G. playVideoTerminal(fps, frames)
• audioFromVideo(file) converts video file into mp3 for use with playVideo(audioFile=). E.G. audioFile = audioFromFile('BadApple.mp4')
• convertToBraille(code) converts braille code into braille characters. Left column top to bottom: 1, 2, 3, 7. Right column top to bottom: 4, 5, 6, 8. so code 123568 is ⢷
• makeMP4(audioFile = None) takes saved frames from playVideo(fps, frames, save=True) and converts it to a mp4 video file called output.mp4.
