Fast Forward is free video editing software that allows you to convert, cut, trim, remove streams, encode and customise a variety of parameters such as frame rate, bitrate, frame size and output file size. Fast Forward can encode H264, MPEG2 or Xvid video, as well as Dolby Digital AC3, Dolby Digital Plus eAC3+, AAC and Vorbis audio. It is very useful for removing ads from recorded TV programs, or combining the .VOB files from a DVD file system. Thanks to FFmpeg, these processes are extremely streamlined and fast. To speed up your conversions, use the "Straight Copy" codec options (only useable under specific circumstances). Accepted formats include: *.3g2 *.3gp *.asf *.avi *.drc *.flv *.gif *.gifv *.m2ts *.m2v *.m4p *.m4v *.mkv *.mng *.mov *.mp4 *.mpeg *.mpg *.mxf *.nsv *.ogg *.ogv *.rm *.rmvb *.roq *.svi *.vob *.webm *.wmv *.yuv

The Zahlemann site used to be the home of the Zahlemann project (which currently sleeps). Now I use it for different little tools I write. See project home page (http://zahlemann.sourceforge.net) for more information.

Convert existing media data (movies or images) to an mp4 movie, with the high performane h264 codec. Usually it takes quite a lot to get the video running as you wish. As convertion engine, Mencoder will be used. This script is intended to ease the creation of videos. It is suitable for the beginner or the lazy advanced people. It will not suite the professional wanting to have full control over all codec parameters.
