    Hi all

    Can you recommend a GUI for ffmpeg that would fulfill these criteria?

    1. I don't have installation rights, so it needs to be a stand-alone app.
    2. I want to be able to queue up the jobs and leave the conversion running while I get on with other stuff.
    3. I want to convert to a -sameq mpeg, ready for editing in VirtualDub or WMM.

    I thought that WinFF was ideal, but I don't think I can select MPG as the output (unless I choose a target format like VCD).

    Many thanks in advance.

    In WinFF, if you pick DVD format you'll get your mpg,ready for editing in VD, but you do know you'll need the mpeg.vdplugin to import .mpg in VD right? You could also use VirtulaDub MPEG2............

    Nice! Thanks so much. Took a while to work out how to make a template so I could use job control, but it's just what I want - thanks.

    t0nee1, thanks, but I don't want to change the video dimensions, and I think using the DVD target would do that.

  5. WinFF might be fine. I haven't tried it, since I had begun writing my own GUI before there were any good ones or I just havent found WinFF or AVANTI. So I created SmartFFmpeg which is worth trying as well since it might have features the others don't have. Like Preset-management, individual conversion settings per task/file, output-filename suggestion etc...
