Version: 4.1
Love this app, but I really wish the developer would get a faster server to host the download. It's agonizingly slow and often fails. It shouldn't take 5 minutes+ to download an 80mb file.

Version: 4.0.2
ffWorks was already the swissknife among video converters and confirms it again with this fantastic new version!
FFmpeg with ffWorks is an indispensable tool for anyone doing video converting and editing.
Awesome!

Their ffWorks update downloads are also extremely slow. Nevertheless, great software, great support.

ffWorks is better by an order of magnitude than any other video converter available for macOS. I have tried everything, and there really is nothing that compares. It gives you the ability to tweak just about any of the hundreds of settings available, and the comprehensive tooltips for each setting go a long way toward helping you understand them. Or, you can just select one of the easy presets and you'll still end up with a conversion that's highly faithful to the original.
What's more, the developer team is HIGHLY responsive. I cannot even count the number of times I have emailed them about some aspect of the process that confused me and they responded within a day or even within an hour! ffWorks is well worth its modest price.
