WinFF |
Winff is a frontend for FFMPEG that runs on Windows XP, Linux. It will convert most any video file that FFmpeg will convert. WinFF does multiple files in multiple formats at one time. You can for example convert mpeg's, flv's, f4v, and mov's, all into avi's all at once. F4V to AVI.

I figured out how to do it. I created two new presets similar to each other excep one crops by 100 and the other by 250. I post here if someone else needs it: -f avi -r 25 -vcodec libxvid -vtag XVID -cropleft 100 -cropright 100 -s 704x384 -aspect 1.83 -maxrate 1800kb -b 1500kb -qmin 3 -qmax 5 -bufsize 4096 -mbd 2 -bf 2 -flags +4mv -trellis -aic -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 300 -acodec libmp3lame -ar 48000 -ab 128kb -ac 2

Hello, First thank you very much for sharing this tool. Like everyone else I am amazed with the speed and quality of your tool. I have been using this for past few days and very pleased with it. I am also posting this to get some help from you please. I often record free to air TV and sometimes the movies are broadcast as 4x3 where I see to black bars on the left and right of the screen. Now, I would like to get rid of these bars and have the movie converted to avi where it covers the full screen. I have tried your AVI-Full screen presettings and it doesn't seem to work. I used Handbrake by setting the resolution to 1920x1080 and crop to t=4,b=8,l=456,r=456 and it does it successfully. However, I am really keen to get it going with WinFF as I want to do all of my conversions with WinFF. I have tried to add the following to the preset: -croptop 4 -cropbottom 8 -cropleft 456 -cropright 456 and changed the resolution and aspect ration to 1920x1080 and 1.76 but no luck. Could you please help me get this going. I am not really good with FFMpeg or video editing concepts. Thank you very much. Ben.

Apropos my earlier post... About 10 minutes after making a generally complimentary post, I discovered that the one criticism I had of this product was in error. I tried to post a correction, unfortunately, this website would not allow me to post the correction for 24 hours. So here it is, along with some more details on editing presets: In fact WinFF provides the ability to fine-tune the conversion profiles and save different variations of the defaults under custom names (very helpful). However, that feature is separate from the 'Additional Options' tabbed dialog, which at first glance appears to be the place to go in order to fine-tune the conversion presets. Intuitively, I would have expected an 'edit' or 'advanced' settings tab in that same context. Eventually I found this feature under a generic 'Edit' menu, which is perfectly okay with me. However, it is confusing to see (for example) a blank box for 'Video Bitrate' when the selected preset has already provided a '-b' command line value for that parameter. Even more confusing, a blank input field for 'Additional Command Line Parameters' without showing the current command line. I tried entering an alternative setting into this field, and it was appended, rather than replacing the original value. So when I looked at the command line preview, it appeared at first glance to have ignored my modification. WinFF is a very useful program, and given the complexity of ffmpeg, it would be quite a bit of additional work to try and provide input fields for all the possible variations. There is an option 'Display CMD Line' which purportedly shows the final ffmpeg command line, but for some reason, it wouldn't allow me to actually approve the command line and launch the conversion process. I had to hit OK, then go back and turn off the 'Display CMD Line' option, then hit 'Convert' again. So maybe a more accurate designation would be: 'Preview CMD Line'. One easy way to improve that situation might be to simply allow the user to edit the command line en-passante as part of that step, and provide 'CONVERT' and 'CANCEL' options as the exit options for the dialog. Bottom line, all my prior '7' ratings are now '8'. This is a very helpful front end to a very valuable conversion program (ffmpeg).

cosmotopper, try reading the documentation's that are included, guides that are available, ffmpeg.org documentation, and also not using an old version. You will find that there atleast 2 simple ways of viewing the command lines and 2 ways to modify it.

A good working GUI front end for FFMPEG, as long as you choose the most generic options. The program provides a way to modify the presets, but provides no visibility of what the original presets are. Also provides a means of adding things to the command line, but once again, if you don't know what the default command line looks like, it's hard to know how any additions you might make would affect it. They do have an option to preview a command line queue of some kind, but no way (apparently) to intercept and modify the batch file that actually does the work. All the action takes place in a command window, which is fine. It's a very useful utility if you just need to do some basic conversions and don't want to have to learn FFMPEG.

I tried this program on the reccommendations of other reviews when I found myself in need of an flv to mpg converter. I have to say WinFF performed better than I expected. Quick conversion and the quality was brilliant, even though I didn't use the highest quality settings. This is the kind of quality I would expect from software you have to pay for, the fact that it's freeware makes it even more amazing!

It works even in VISTA 64-bit (VISTA Home Premium, SP1, 64-bit) ... just run it in Compatibility mode. It is Fast & No Hassle. THANKS to BigMatt for a Great program!

This little gem also does a great job in converting FLV (Youtube files) into 3GP (Mobile Files). I couldn't play the converted file until I renamed the file extension from '3G2' to 3GP then it played using my VLC player.

I wanted to convert FLV files to DVD mpeg. After trying SUPER (which didn't work), I tried WinFF, and it worked perfectly. I love the interface--simple, easy to follow, and technically arranged. The options are great. And, it's easy to follow along the progress in FFmpeg. It just makes sense, and worked wonderfully. Thank you, a great tool.

I had trouble converting flv to avi. I tried exporting as avi from Flash CS3 (lost audio). I tried Riva (error messages). I looked at Super (too complicated). WinFF worked like a charm!

This is one excellent frontend. It just works! Even on strangely non standard files!!!! Its one of my essential video conversion programs. Before I found this,I was struggling with either BS shareware/programs that were too picky about the input file. Mediacoder is next after this(slightly more complex but even more powerful)

A simple easy tool to use that produces excellent results. I use it reduce bitrate/file size for OTA HD and SD mpeg files as well as Xvid and h264. Setting up custom presets is a breeze and is a very nice feature.

Awesome piece of kit, have only converted a couple of files with it so far and have yet to use it to the same degree as I have used SUPER, but what I've seen so far cannot be faulted, great utility

Staggeringly good FLV quality. The best I've ever had from a free tool. I just encoded a video at 384x288 at 300k. It's much better than YouTube quality (needless to say!) and better than I was getting at 320x240 at 425k with Riva. Theinterface could do with a 'stereo' option and drag and drop would be nice. But still this is an awesome tool. Many thanks to the developer.

Excellent tool for driving ffmpeg, especially now that 2-pass support is added.

OK, This is a phenomenal Cross-Platform application. In Windows it is an excellent substitute or replacement for SUPER, and in Linux it has no rival! The developer is helpful and accessible and listens to user input. Running on top of a good ffmpeg build almost any common conversion is possible.

This is the best frontend for ffmpeg hands down. ffmpeg is totally bad ass to begin with and having an easy to use frontend for it with batch capabilities and presets makes it even more bad ass. If you are a Linux user my opinion is that this is the only video encoder frontend/program you will need. Just make sure you compile ffmpeg to support all the restricted codecs. If you have a multi-core processor be sure to add "-threads x" to the command line where "x" is the number of cores you have. On my E6420 at stock speed (2.13 GHz) using "-threads 2" I'm getting 50 fps encoding to h264! This is without overclocking. I can't even imagine what the speed will be like after I OC to 3.2 GHz.

This is absolutely awesome!! I've never encountered a tool that would produce such great quality in so short a time! (Believe me, I have tried most.) I agree with the previous poster, it is as good as Canopus (or HC or CCE), but lightning fast! Although gui4ffmpeg uses ffmpeg as well, the results do not match WinFF's at all! A 2h 24m movie (.avi-file, XViD) took less than 2 (two!) hours to convert and it looks GREAT! Congratulations to the author for using ffmpeg as underlying app and encoder to such great avail!! Keep up the good work!

excellent for lamers.Just choose file,choose destination,codec and press start) no customisation needed at all!

i just downloaded and tested the latest version and all i can say i WOW!!! the gui is just a front end for ffmpeg, but whatever version of ffmpeg it's using kicks ass!!! it kicks ass in the two most important ways: 1) the quality of the encode is phenomenal. at any particular bitrate i have never seen a codec that even comes close, not even x264 (i know it's technically not a codec, but it is the co portion of that acronym) at the highest settings can touch this, not mpeg-2 at 30Mb/s can beat this codec at about 6 Mb/s, not apple's H.264, nothing!!! (i checked, it seems to be some H.264 codec i've never seen before). 2) this is the most shocking of all, it's lightning fast using a dual core E6400 i am doing the following 2 encodes simultaneously (i'm running 2 instances of winff, it's not multithreaded) and each is being performed in faster than real time: first file, target: 1920x1080, 16:9, 6500 Kb/s, using "MPEG-4" video codec, 320 Kb/s 48000 Hz, for audio second file, target: 1280x720, 16:9, 5000 Kb/s, using "MPEG-4" video codec, 320 Kb/s 48000 Hz, for audio it's almost unbelievable when you consider that Procoder 2 takes about 7 hours just to do the first encode with the same settings, and no other encoder i have ever seen (if you can name it, i've tried it) can come close (Mencoder264 does the first encode at a rate of 3 fps). just absolutely incredible, i'm uninstalling all the other encoding tools i have on my computer and from now on this is what i plan on using!!!

I just downloaded this tool and ran through a list of flash files that I had saved to see what it would do. I tried converting them to wmv and some other formats. The process took only a matter of seconds (though the flash files were only a few minutes long at most). I have a pet peeve about programs that don't allow dran-n-drop capability, as many freebies don't, but that's my only complaint. I would have given it a 9 otherwise. It can be tedious sometimes having to search manually when all I want to do is drag files. But the program is free, so I can't complain too much. Good job.
