The bug

I want to upload videos from my drone, which have no audio track. However, these videos are never transcoded by the server. The relevant check is in server/src/domain/media/media.service.ts:

    if (!mainVideoStream || !mainAudioStream || !containerExtension) {
      return false;
    }

Because this check occurs before the ffmpegConfig.transcode configuration is checked, the issue persists even when the transcode policy is set to "All videos" in the ffmpeg settings.

I can probably take a crack at this issue when I have some time - it seems like it will just require a handful of changes in that file to make it sufficient for a file to have just a video track and still be eligible for transcoding. I believe the transcode policy should simply ignore the target audio codec in that case, and the -acodec option for ffmpeg should be omitted (though in my testing, it seems to work fine even when the -acodec option is included.

Thank you! The project is truly incredible.

Reproduction steps

1. Upload a video without an audio track (for example, this [sample video from Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/video/drops-of-liquid-on-a-tray-to-be-use-as-samples-3195394/)
2. Watch the microservices logs and see that a transcoded asset is not generated
