Poor TuX does not have any better alternative than sticking to this most BuGGy one, where total number of BuGs exceeds total number of codecs. And most important free codec libraries are missing, may be on purpose. Following is the release note from FFMPEG.org... November 4, 2011 We have made 2 new point releases (0.7.7 and 0.8.6) that fix around 90 bugs, several of which are security relevant. We recommend users, distributors and system integrators to upgrade unless they use current git master. Where as We recommend users, distributors and system integrators are requested to upgrade, But who knows, How many BUGS are added in New Release! AaaaaH, FFMPEG. All I learnt from FF... is distribute BUGs,,,BUGS,,,and BuGS. Can Not Think of ANY GOOD! Scored ALL TEN coz it's most BUGGY as compared to other codecs.

Great program with almost unlimited functionality in its field. While it may be hard to use, as you need to use a command prompt (unless you use a GUI), it can do just about anything. Best of all, it's free and available to everyone. Always experiment with a small file until you get used to its settings and are ready to do the big projects.

The fact that lazy, ignorant people like mentalgeller can't figure out how to use ffmpeg is part of ffmpeg's appeal.

This "program" is for nerds only. It's simply unusable. First, you have NO IDEA which version you should download; there is no separation between Windows-, Mac- and Unix-Versions, everything is packed with a different packer. Then you need a GUI (a grafic interface), but every GUI needs another version of ffmpeg (and certain dlls), so you're back at the start. Forget it. I've tried thousands of programs in 20 years - and NEVER have I seen such a piece of sh... ZERO POINTS for this garbage.

This developer lists 6 ffmpeg front ends for Windows, why not a few for Mac? Is iFFmpeg the only one still in development for the Mac? What about Datura, is it dead too now?

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. http://www.barrydegraaff.tk/files/Linux/ffmpeg-binaries/

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.

Id Grab this quick good application, software patents are threatening its continuous development.

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.
