ffmpeg is open source and cross-platform, no need for infested crapware.



GUI apps are easier to pick up and learn than CLI commands with cryptic namings.


You end up using FFMPEG all the time on Mac anyway because the built in tools only really support apple approved formats and if you're dealing with video being captured from elsewhere you end up with piles of webm containers full on non-apple endorsed codecs.

Didn't use to be this way in the QuickTime Pro ecosystem but since QuickTime X you can't just work with any old video files.


Meh, pick your poison. I was just pointing out there are more alternatives than crapware and expensive tools.
