FFmpeg Batch AV Converter Reviews

Здравствуйте. В версии 3.2.3 баг при склеивании файлов. Программа закрывается. Последняя рабочая версия ffmpeg "ffmpeg-2025-04-14-git-3b2a9410ef-full_build".

Thank you! For the past two years, I've been creating proxies without being limited by Adobe's restrictions in my video editing workflow. I always recommend this tool. It also makes downloading long YouTube videos easy. Thank you for making my work easier—this tool means a lot to me! By the way, I ended up writing this review on SourceForge because I originally tried to post it on Buy Me a Coffee. Unfortunately, the Stripe pop-up got stuck in a loading loop. On the second attempt, a CAPTCHA suddenly appeared inside the Stripe window, but it still didn’t load. Same issue on the third attempt and beyond. My IP is in Israel.

Great project, made my life way easier, I was not familiar with ffmpeg parameters and now I'm able to convert my whole video collection like a boss!, Thank you for your time building this software!

I leave here my suggestion to add support for the MV-HEVC encoder because with the launch of Apple Vision Pro the number of people who will need this encoder to adapt videos recorded in 2D to 3D will increase considerably.

Excellent

Awesome project! This program has become an important part of my workflow to create thousands of proxy video files, works way better / is more flexible than using adobe media encoder. Obviously so much easier to use than typing lines of code into ffmpeg. I don't know if it's possible but I would benefit from being able to limit the CPU usage allocated to the encoding.

This have save me times

Excellent program, a little bit of a learning curve when I first started using it, but I'm used to the way it works now, and I think it's one of the best FFmpeg converter GUIs I've ever used.

Thank you so much for this nice GUI. I think it's the most versatile ffmpeg GUI that I ever seen on the net. One question: would it be possible to add a NORMALIZE preset (audio and video), using loudnorm or an other ? (maybe it's a simple command line to add ?...) - Thanks a lot ! [edit] Sorry ! I just saw that you added this in the Wizard ! Fantastic ! Once again, thank you for this very usefull tool. Alex

This is such a wonderful piece of work. Thoroughly done in many ways. You can feel, that it is cone with love. And: it is fee. Its embarrassing to read the comment of this german idiot who is sillier than a piece of white breat - and who does not understand anything. No, after testing ffmpeg and a couple of converter GUIs I had simply had to write a review about this top tool!!!

This is a very powerful and well designed program. The power of ffmpeg in user friend GUI which is super easy to learn. A feature recommendation: I would like this to have a "folder watch" function, i.e. it would monitor a folder for new video files and then convert them. The output converted files should either be in another folder (preserving the subfolder hierarchy, or converted filenames having a suffix so that the program would recognize them and not convert the same files again. And preferably, instead of only checking the file names, compare the lengths of those video files to confirm the conversion had been successful.

Better than Handbrake

Simple and straightforward. Huge thanks to the developer.

Good windows app..

Das ist das beschissenste Audio Converter die ich jemals gesehen habe. Denn klar, hat er mir das M4A Datei in MP3 umgewandelt. Aber wo hat er das bitteschön gespeichert? Wo??? Ich finde diese umgewandelte Dateie nirgendwo. Deshalb gehe ich davon aus, das der Software einfach nur so tut als hätte es angeblich umwandeln. Außerdem sind die funktion und bedienung sehr überladen und deswegen auch unübersichtlich. Wo kann ich die Speicher ort ädern? Und hat er sich das umgewandeln? Was bedeutet eigentlich "Sequential encoding" oder " Multi file encoding?". Was ist das??? Warum müssen solche Open Source Converter so kompliziert sein und muss so viele überladene funktion haben? Oder dürfen Open Soruce Entwickler das aus rechtliche gründe nicht einfache machen, weil das vielleicht gegen sämtliche Kostenpflichtige Audio Converter (Wie Freemake) verstößt? Ich glaube da bleibe ich lieber auf mein gute alte Audio umwandlungsprogramm von Free Audio Editor. Denn das ist einer von denn besten Kostenlose und einfachste Audio umwandlungssoftware.

I'm so happy that I discovered this encoder. Thank you so much for your work and effort on creating this great software. I would like to mention my suggestion about a feature that might be handy. I think It would be awesome if you make it possible that we could install/upgrade it through Winget(Windows Package Manager). Wish you the best!

This is a brilliant!! Thanks a million for providing a way to to batch encode to none geeks and CLI experts like me! I just tried the Portable version and in case I am not doing something wrong, it's not saving the new Preset I created. When I click the [Edit] button it's there, but when I [Save & Close] it's still not showing in the list. Will keep figuring out are report back what I find. Also I hope the below comment regarding libx265 is fixed as this is my target encode (CRF = 27). Thanks again!

I am very, very happy with your program - I like it very much and want to say "thank you"! Nevertheless I have to report a (still existing) bug with the "Wizard": >>choosing "lib265" for encoding and >> than "crf", those parameters (-crf <nn>) are not added to the parameters line (as it DOES work if using codec lib264 !). Another (maybe more personal ) point is the ease of use: While yout Program is highly functional in many aspects, it seem to me to be a little bit overdone in the general layout: too many knobs are always visible - which confuses (me) when starting to experiment with this fantastic tool. In my eyes this is distracting instead of keeping the focus on the next steps to be done - especially regarding the aim of this tool: making it easy for anyone to get around with the seemingly endless opportunities of FFMPEG! with very kind regards wosa

Great for quick transcoding chores, and equally good for massive jobs. Support is quick and friendly. Highly recommend.

Great! This GUI makes everything much easier. I hope it gets better and better!

Nice job !! Thank you for this one :-)

Nice Work ! Works out of the box instantly.

Surprisingly great program. Intuitive user interface and has all the features one could expect.

All the best!

Great converter!
