Hung up on doing *very* simple operation; 2005 interface

Worst user interface of any program I've used in the past 20 years. (It doesn't appear to have changed in 20 years, either--so the creator(s) clearly don't think it needs improvement.) Violates all kinds of modern user interface norms. Reminds me of old UNIX programs where a crude UI was built on top of a command-line program. Used it lately to convert a mp4 to mp3--super-simple--and it hung up, with message: "The output file already exists. If recording continues, the file will be overridden and its content will be lost." It gave me two buttons: "Overwrite" and "Keep existing file"--both buttons do nothing but cause the same dialogue to reappear, in an endless loop. I asked ChatGPT about it, and its response: "You just uncovered one of VLC’s oldest, worst bugs: The 'output file exists' endless loop bug. (Reported as far back as 2015. They still haven’t fixed it.)" Even if I made some configuration error, *no* competent program puts you in a position where your only option is killing the program. If I have to force your program down after 5 minutes of using it, you flunk CS 101, and get one star.
