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.

Version history:
v1.5.0
----
Usability: A lot of work has gone into making the application more friendly to users with visual impairments. Ability to accommodate larger fonts, resizing the application, screen layouts have had much tweaking. It’s clearly not perfect, but we are hoping that it results in a better experience for some of our users. Special mention to Paul Gevers for striving to make this feature work and work well in Linux and Windows.

Rotation: Video can be rotated using the ffmpeg Rotate Feature. 90 degree left and right rotation as well as vertical flip is included.
MultiFormat output: A massive change is that every file in the queue can have a different output codecs. You can add the same file multiple times to encode to different formats. More info to follow on the website.

Advanced Options per file: Every file can have different output options. Now, when you make changes to advanced options, it gets saved per file in the queue.

Advanced Options: Extra Tab showing command lines to be used per file. You can tweak them before executing.

Previews: Only previews the highlighted file in the queue.
Added ctrl-A to the filelist and "select all" popup menu.

Much code clean-ups. Removed dead code.
Windows version built with Lazarus 1.0

Fixes:
Fix issue 158: two bitrate settings in MP4 *screen
Fix issue 136 (preferences stores content) by calling createForm function on entry
also check for avconv when checking executables
Fixed: use source folders

Usability Changes
Add scrollBox to Presets form to allow all items to always stay reachable
Add scrollBoxes to Preferences form to allow all items to always stay reachable
Update language files for rework of Preferences
Rework preferences form - Renamed most items to give it names you can find back - Make sure that it behaves better when you start using different fonts - Fix for issue 136 needs prioritybox.Clear
Make all buttons honor the font size of the system

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!

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.
