Per @jstebbins' comment I have added the following to the About HandBrake article:

HandBrake is a post-production tool. Its primary purpose is to convert videos from supported source formats to MP4 or MKV format. If you wish to make changes to your Source video, please use an appropriate video editing software.

I suggest we also add a standalone Project Goals article next to the Project History article (which needs revised also). Opening this issue for discussion of project goals and scope. Feel free to brainstorm. The is/isn't sections on About HandBrake are a good starting point.

We have no goals.

I think that's pretty true. Or at least the goals shift as interest and needs shift. I think we would have more to say about motivation and scope. The features that get added to HandBrake are shaped by what motivates the individual contributors and the agreed upon scope of the project.

Indeed. I was of course joking, but your analysis is pretty spot on. Perhaps we should have a more live conversation about our personal motivations and any gray areas in scope not mentioned in our current documentation. Then I can try to distill it into a few concise and sane paragraphs that others can read to get a gist without hanging around the project for two years.
