Video conversion

Faced with an issue of video incompatible with player / DVD player ? I faced one recently.
After some search and trails, I zeroed on FFmpeg. I must  admit that, the use of this software from command line is initimidating for newbies like me.
But alas, we have WinFF a graphical frontend for FFmpeg.
I could successfully convert mpeg4, mkv video files to mpg ones ( NTSC DVD format)
Conversion takes whole lot of time, 2-3 hrs on my core i5 laptop for approx 1.5 GB output video.
Anyway, that is not an issue if we are able to see the resulting video on DVD player.

All in all, i am happy with my choice of WinFF.
