FFmpeg is just about the best video manipulation tool that has ever been made. Having a command line tool that works across almost every platform is fantastic. Excellent options and there is almost nothing that you can not do with this tool, I use it all the time in conjunction with PHP, Perl, and Python to automate the most hideous repetitive video tasks.
