Convert an entire folder of videos — different formats, same output — without babysitting each file.
One of the most requested features in FFmpeg Commander is the ability to convert a whole folder of videos at once — different sources, different codecs, all going to the same output format without babysitting each file. That's exactly what the Batch CODEC Convert tool does.
Click Batch CODEC Convert from the main menu, add your files (or an entire folder), choose your codec, format, quality, and audio settings — then hit Start. FFmpeg Commander queues every file and converts them one by one, logging progress in real time.

On a Mac, selecting VideoToolbox offloads encoding to Apple Silicon's dedicated media engine, cutting conversion time dramatically compared to pure CPU encoding — without sacrificing quality for streaming or archival use. On Windows with an NVIDIA GPU, NVENC delivers the same speed advantage.
FFmpeg Commander handles all the FFmpeg command construction for you. No terminal, no flags to memorize — just pick your settings and go.
