Best video converter.


Hi,
I'm finding a great gui to convert video files.

Is there a really great frontend for ffmpeg, transcode or mencoder?

Thanks!

Searching Freshmeat and Sourceforge, or the mplayer site in case of mencoder, should bring up some. Note a GUI is no substitute for knowledge if your aim is creating perfect encodings.

Avidemux2 is hard to beat. Knowledge is still required.

Avidemux is not harder to use than VirtualDub in Windows. But you gotta know something about audio/video formats and compression parameters if you want the result to be enjoyable.
