ffmpegGUI
A graphical front-end for ffmpeg
ffmpegGUI is a tool for transcoding and converting audio/video files using the multiplatform ffmpeg suite.

You can also make a lossless '1:1 copy' of the audio or video track to quickly transcode to another container format. ffmpegGUI assembles the resulting ffmpeg commandline, that you can then tweak manually or copy to use in your own scripts if needed. Or you simply click 'Start' to begin the encoding. You can also create encoding jobs to process them all in a batch later. Currently included container formats/codecs:
- Video containers: avi, mkv, mp4, mpeg-1, ogg, webm
- Audio containers: mp3, oga, wav
- Video codecs: mjpeg, mpeg4, theora, vp8, vp9, wmv1, wmv2
