What I'm saying is that ffmpeg is the libraries. When you use the ffmpeg CLI to filter and rewrite audio, the ffmpeg command is just decoding it using a decoder in libavcodec, filtering using a filter from libavfilter, and encoding again using an encoder from libavcodec. The ffmpeg CLI is "just" an interface for the libraries.

The fact that Handbrake doesn't expose the same features as the ffmpeg CLI tool is frankly irrelevant.

It's not just relevant, it's the whole thing. They asked for an ffmpeg GUI and someone recommended a GUI that doesn't use ffmpeg and doesn't do what ffmpeg can do. ffmpeg can not only rewire channels, it can stream video, capture video from the screen, capture video from a tv tuner, overlay text etc.

Also the libraries you listed are part of the ffmpeg project. They come from ffmpeg.

Also they asked for a GUI to ffmpeg, not necessarily a GUI to the command line tool.

to be fair, I have never seen a GUI that could do everything its complex command-line equivalent could do, that wasn't, in the end, just simpler and easier to use the command-line in the first place. so when people ask for "a GUI", I think a lot more information is needed about what it should be able to do.

Handbrake does use ffmpeg. My whole point is that the libraries are ffmpeg, so I don't understand why you're saying it back to me.

Gah. I give up.

Handbrake isn't a GUI for all of ffmpeg, it does a very limited set of what ffmpeg can do.
