    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 ...

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

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

  4. Unlike other apps that use slow, bulky, old versions of FFmpeg with software encoding, Compressor uses Android's native Media3 Hardware Acceleration to process video faster than any other app.
