Check out docker-ffmpeg for a customized Docker build of FFmpeg.

Why?

FFmpeg has many simple and complex options, which can be intimidating at first. I wanted to create a simple interface for generating common encoding operations for video and audio, inspired by HandBrake.

This tool does NOT cover all options of FFmpeg and some assumptions are made when generating the output. So adjustments may be necessary. Generated options may also vary based on your FFmpeg version and build configuration.

If you feel some options can be improved, feel free to open an issue or pull request.

ffmpegd

ffmpegd is an optional companion application that connects ffmpeg-commander to ffmpeg by providing a websocket server to send encode tasks and receive realtime progress updates back to the browser. This allows using ffmpeg-commander as a GUI for ffmpeg.
