+# Purpose
+
+Roku's BIF file creation tool for linux is out of date (last updated six years). It includes a dependency on `libavformat.so.57`, which is obsolete on all modern GNU/Linux distributions.
+
+This container allows execution of the BIF creation tool using a container powered by the archived Debian version "Stretch", which includes the correct version of the dependency.
+
+# Usage
+
+After cloning the repository, build the image:
+
+```sh
+podman build -t [local-image-name] .
+```
+
+Add your input and output folders to env variables:
+
+```sh
+INPUT_DIR=[path]
+OUTPUT_DIR=[path]
+```
+
+You will need to grant all users read access to your input dir, and write + execute access to your output dir:
+
+```sh
+chmod o+r $INPUT_DIR
+chmod o+wx $OUTPUT_DIR
+```
+
+Now, you can run the script. The input dir should be bind mounted read-only, and output dir bind mounted read-write:
+
+```sh
+podman run --rm \
+--mount="type=bind,src=$INPUT_DIR,dst=/media,ro" \
+--mount="type=bind,src=$OUTPUT_DIR,dst=/output" \
+localhost/[local-image-name] -- /media
+```
