Just study the manual, and make your own batch files.
no need for a gui.
ffmpeg does it all.

I found that a lot of people are looking for pre compiled ffmpeg libraries to use with their shared hosting account. So here are some:

Here are some of my pre compiled FFMPEG binaries to be used on shared
hosting accounts. I use this FFMPEG versions to create JPG thumbnails
from FLV files.

Used with Avanti to re-encode an Xvid to play on my standalone player.
Downloaded both aand within 20 minutes had used and converted a one and a half hour movie.
Wish I had used it years ago.

Posting a guide for the tool. Guide shows how to use it to convert audio uploaded from a form on a web page automatically. Guide shows mp3 to flv, but could be changed to any audio or video format easily.

The Good:

* Commandline driven
* Many options
* Multi-platform, free, source available

The Bad:

* Does not ensure bitrate consistency accross a set of files. So a set of AVI files produced from a set of VOB files cannot be merged into a single AVI.

* The latest version available at Sourceforge (strangely) predates the version bundled with gui4ffmpeg. Currently the version available on Sourceforge does not support the "-vtag xvid" option. So users are stuck with Windows if they want to run the latest.

* According to rumor, the codec does not accurately compress at the bitrate requested by the user. Files I'm encoding are averaging 100 megs smaller than what I'm expecting.

FFMPEG is very easy to compile under Win32, too. It is by far the fastest MPEG-2 encoder (AVI/DIVX4-->DVD/MPEG-2) I have ever seen. It was able to do NTSC in real time, >30 fps, on my 0.85 GHz, 'vanilla'. When I eventually get around to setting up CPU-specific optimizations for recompilation I expect it to go 40+ or more. Its only downside for me is that it won't do the frame multiplication needed to take an AVI of less than 1 (e.g., 0.25) fps and convert it to 23.976. For Win32 compilation, use MSYS and MINGW, ./configure, make, from http://mingw.org.
