are you dumb?

in case of "-y" ffmpeg opens the output file no matter if it exists or 
not - there is no need for any operation

you pretended there is a delete operation

that's nonsense and not how a filesystem works

it's exactly the same operation opening a file with name "1.mp4" if it 
already exists or not
