Introduction:

ffmpegGUI is a GUI for the ffmpeg program.
It supports some basic options via the GUI and allows the user to add additional
options via a command line string gadget. This approach allows
full use of ffmpeg's features directly from the GUI interface. Hopefully
this approach make the interface attractive to both the novice and power
user. It also allows for incremental development of the GUI.

ffmpeg is a command line  program which provides the abilty to decode and encode
a large variety of video, audio, and graphics formats while supporting the
changing of various parameters along the way. It also supports such things as
saving individual video frames as graphics files as well as the reverse.
