FFmpeg is a powerful utility for converting practically any audio or video file to another codec. Want to compress your WAV audio to MP3, OGG, or WMA? FFmpeg can handle it. Want to convert your Windows Media Video to MPEG? No problem. But FFmpeg is a command line utility, which can make it a bit cumbersome if you don't know the ins and outs.

There are several graphical front ends for FFmpeg for Windows or Linux. But WinFF is a graphical user interface for FFmpeg that works on Windows and Linux. There's also a Free Pascal/Lazarus Source file available if you want to try compiling WinFF to run on OS X, Windows CE, or another operating system.

Note that while the Windows version supports pretty much any codec you could want, you may have to update the version of FFmpeg on your Ubuntu/Debian, or Red Hat/Fedora Linux system before WinFF can handle proprietary codecs like MP3.
