ffWorks overview

ffWorks, focused on simplicity, brings a fresh approach to the use of FFmpeg, allowing you to create ultra-high-quality movies without the need to write a single line of code on the command-line.

High Quality and Control - Convert and processes many media files with high level quality using FFmpeg with no knowledge. Advanced users are not left out in the cold with lots of options to work with.

Merging Media Files - Stitch unlimited files to one file using either of two methods: concat pass-thru (blistering fast) and Complex Filter.
Subtitles Support - Both hard-burned and soft subtitles are supported (external or embedded).
Presets - A lot of presets are included by default: iPod, iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, PS4, Xbox One, Wii-U, Android, YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, and many more.
Encode Multiple Files at Once - Batch-encode up to 8 files at the same time.

Version: 3.1.2

I've been using this app since the days if iffmpeg and I'm still using version 1.71 of ffworks. Now in the old dark days of ffmpeg with a GUI from hell there was a real need for an easy to use video encoding application. Sure there's a lot to be said for Handbrake but often that application uses a hammer to crack an egg. For example if you want to change an mp4 to an mkv file then Handbrake will do a full re-encode and that's unneeded because all you're changing is the container. On the other hand ffWorks will just strip away the container. Another thing that this app does is to add audio files to a video file. Let's say you want to add a richer audio file then it's as simple as dropping the file into the app do encode on the fly and it's done. Now if there's something you don't understand then you can email the developers and your problem will be fixed within 24 hours. I'm giving this app five stars because it's so useful for amateurs and professionals. And for me says it's a totally useful application.

When I think of video files and how to convert them, I automatically think of ffWorks. It does everything in terms of video and audio manipulation and does so extremely well. Incredibly good program !!!

On the ffWorks website, the download link does not use https (secure connection), just plain old http. Depending on your browser (I use FF), you may get a warning that the download is potentially unsafe. In addition, the company does not provide SHA-256 hash or similar to be able to verify the download (at least that I can see), so at least if they aren't going to use https, you can at least validate the download, especially if you are downloading from another source. They also don't distinguish downloads of different versions, it's always the same filename: ffWorks.dmg, so if I look at this file a month from now, I don't know what version it is unless I open it up. How hard would it be to name the downloads like 'ffWorks_303.dmg' ??

Just about the best in its class. Nothing comes close in terms of usability, features and support. A keeper.

Very easy to use application to convert my movie files with FFmpeg. You do have to install FFmpeg yourself but once this is behind you, everything works fine.

I just wanted to mention that the support is very good. Very friendly and helpful. FFWorks is highly recommended if you work with video files. The features are extensive and the quality is unseen. Thumbs up!!

Just to mention: I had a little problem converting a VP8 video to HEVC with hardware accelerated encoding. The developer answered very quickly and solved the problem for me and updated the app the next day. Unbelievable support! Kudos!

Version: 2.2.1

I bought a Mac Mini M1 last week and the first thing I did was check all my favorite apps to see if they are available in native AS. So also ffWorks. And I was pleasantly surprised that both ffWorks and FFmpeg are available for native Apple Silicon making it future proof. Thanks for keeping this app up to date. ffWorks is really indispensable for me! Kudos

Simply the best transcoding app available. The developers are EXTREMELY responsive and are always working to improve ffWorks.

Version: 1.7.1

ff-mpeg is one of the best encoders around and FF-Works adds the user interface that makes it simple to use while still being able to get to the power user stuff if you need to. It's rapidly become my go-to app for all my transcoding.

1.5.1

Version: 1.5.1

If there is one tool I can't miss it is this. A very flexible encoding application, powered by ffmpeg, that makes all other free and payed converters obsolete. The regular updates are very welcome and indicate that the makers take great care to keep improving it every single time. The ridiculously low price is fully worth it. Top application.

Version: 1.4.2

I'm in agreement... ffWorks is a great app. I'd like to create 8-channel E-AC3 (Dolby Digital Plus) files to play on an Apple TV. However, the resulting files have only 6 channels. I wonder if its a FFmpeg issue.

Version: 1.4.0

Excellent app. Version 1.4 introduced a problem with trimming (e.g. preview not working as it should). Immediately solved within one day with release of version 1.4.1.

1.2.6

Version: 1.2.6

I've been using this for a very long time and it's still by far the best program in its class. Gets updated very regularly with new features too. FFworks is a really great program for a low price that you should definitely have and use.
