Description
We are publishing more and more ZIM files with videos using many different scrapers.
Do do that we mainly:
- Re-encode videos/audio streams
- Handle sub-titles
- Display all of this using video.js
For the moment many of these pieces of video related functions are distributed in different places (in the scraper relying on them).
At least to me, this is:
- difficult to understand which scraper is at which status related to the development of these pieces of code
- Fixes will have to be requested/tracked in each scraper
- Releases are also de-facto made at very different times
I'm not prescriptive about the exact solution, but I believe we should try to consolidate this at one place.

Research direction
Start by inventorying the video-related functionality currently distributed across the scrapers that use python-scraperlib, including video/audio re-encoding, subtitles, and video.js display. Define a single consolidation approach and identify what each scraper would consume from it. Done means these primitives are maintained and released from one shared place.
