MacFormat Magazine 144: "ffmpegX is a brilliant shareware utility"

versiontracker.com: "FIAT LUX. I was an avid Windows user as for over 10 years. Even after buying a MAC I was an avid Windows user as it was the only platform that could handle conversion of multiple formats, especially the way MPEG was handled. After 2 months being converted to a MAC and 1 week of finding ffmpegX, I have finally dismantled my PC and sold it on ebay."

macupdate.com: "Takes video encoding out of the dark ages"

Paul Hagstrom: " It's certainly possible to use all of the tools ffmpegX wraps on your own by downloading them, compiling them, and running them from the command line, but it is a several-stage process with lots of trial and even more error .... Major has taken the guesswork out of encoding, and has kept it very usable, very configurable, and very up-to-date. Plus, he's been very responsive to feature requests and all other questions on his support forum. It's well worth the shareware price, if nothing else for the time and aggravation you'll save yourself"

    Why ffmpegX?
    I needed a software to quickly encode to SVCD and DivX-compatible formats in order to archive my family movies. Not so much time ago, there was no method available for MacOS apart from some freaky process involving PC emulation. When OSX was introduced, it became possible to run Unix command line tools like ffmpeg, mpeg2enc and vcdimager. However, operation in command line mode was time consuming. Some GUIs popped out for each tool from pioneers like Ross, Henry Mason and Jesper Nillson, but still, many apps were required to go through a full encoding and authoring process. So I decided to control all components with a single GUI. The result was good enough for myself, and also seemed useful to others, so I spent some time for improving it and creating this site. Other great apps now exist, like 42, DiVa, OpenShiiva, Sizzle, and many others. Please check them, as they could be better for you either in general or for specific uses. You have now five exciting options about ffmpegX, 1/Try it, 2/Use it and register, 3/Trash it, 4/Don't trash it but don't use it, 5/Trash your computer and go to planet Zorg (where I'm currently located) for some holidays.
