    I mean... This is a paid closed-source GUI for the free open-source FFmpeg. Yes, it looks pretty, maybe it is the most user-friendly GUI out there. I just don't get the philosophy of making this paid (as I am not a Mac user).

Comment summary: ffWorks is highly praised as a powerful and user-friendly FFmpeg frontend, ideal for both novice and expert users on macOS. Users appreciate its comprehensive features, ease of use, and seamless video conversion capabilities. However, some express frustration with frequent paid updates, preferring a perpetual licensing model. Despite this, ffWorks is frequently recommended for its high quality and speed in media conversions.

The Swiss knife among converters. Incredible powerful compared to any other converter on the market. And always up-to-date with the latest codec technologies (FFmpeg).

Highly recommended!

Arguably the best of the video converters.

Easy to use and has a huge range of features. A manual would be helpful, though. The tutorials on the website gives only a small overview of what is really possible.

Nevertheless, highly recommended
