    FFshare is not an encoder like handbrake. it is a minimal app for directly compressing video. and thats the only feature about it.

    dmMediaConverter is a crossplatform FFmpeg frontend (GUI) exposing some of its features. It is intended to be simple and easy to use but also to be able to achieve complex tasks. I have inspired myself from a lot of media converters like Handbrake, WinFF and MkvMergeGui.
