    A good project but not a good alternative as it has very few features in common with HandBrake.

    File Converter is not Quicker in any form, it's very limited actually, not even comparable with Hanbrake, it does not offer hardware based encoding or even low sound bitrates for example ...

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