WinFF is a GUI for the command line video converter, FFmpeg. It will convert most any video file that FFmpeg will convert.

WinFF allows easy access to the often arcane commandline of FFmpeg by giving an easy to use Graphical User Interface (GUI). WinFF can also be easily updated to allow for newer or older versions of FFmpeg by either:

  1. Downloading newer or older preset files modelled on specific FFmpeg releases
  2. Creating your own presets or modifying the ones already bundled with WinFF
