describe the feature you'd like to see

The new Remux feature is meant to "often fix compatibility issues with old software", and from my experience, it definitely works. Would it be possible to add an option to do something like "Download Remux'd File" instead of downloading then Remuxing? If this isn't possible or easy to code, why so? I'm genuinely curious about how these kinds of things work, and I'd like to know more.

additional context

I've recently been having an issue with my Windows 11 laptop where, after trying to play a 3+ hour video one time, my laptop no longer properly registers the track length of video files and as a result doesn't allow me to skip through videos. Included are screenshots of this on:

Media Player

and

Photos

The issue was persistent on all media player programs I tried, including VLC Media Player. Remuxing video files restores the capability to skip through videos for me.
