what is:
A series of shell-script powered droplets (OS X Mavericks, Mountain Lion, older versions will work with Lion and snow leopard) that will encode prores and other type of files supported by ffmpeg with predefined command line (edit shell script to change that with your favorite text editor) to x264 or prores or vp8 or flac or .... (whatever is supported by ffmpeg).

download:

beta:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdrop/files/latest/download
install:
.extract to /some/place
.install TextWrangler (http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/) so that the pumpkin can be used as droplet editor (or configure the pumpkin to use your favorite text editor)
why/motivation:
.x264 8 bit/10 bit
.Prores decoder in ffmpeg (and now the encoder).
.All bunch off existing apps (with gazzilion menues and buttons) that can't/refuse to do what would human want.
changing the ffmpeg command line:
To edit the 'script' file: rmb on app then select 'Show Package Contents', find 'script' in ./Resources and open with your text editor (or drop droplet to magic pumpkin).
Testing: When you save the script, the app is ready for testing at once - no need to restart it, just drop in stuff to test.

known bugs/limitations in bundled droplets:
.multichannel audio input is not tested with bundled droplets.
changelog:
.v5 - droplets that will take image sequences as input to prores or x264.
.v6 - ffmpeg is now separated from droplets, some minor bugs fixed,
mediainfo is now part of the pack, new fresh ffmpeg/x264 compile from
git (1st one on lion)
.v7 - custom icons, qt-faststart, additional icons
.v7c - some icon cosmetics, some new presets (like animation qt)
.v7d - ability to drop the droplet onto pumpkin to get the "script" open in a
textWrangler
(that is if you happen to have one installed)
.v7f - xdcam422_1080p25.mov preset, it can talk
.v8 - x264 droplets (xCRF21, x1000) - are now using apple AAC encoder,
fresh ffmpeg version N-36981-g9e53f62 with x264 0.120.2146 bcd41db
.v8a - makethumbs droplet (movie to jpg thumb), some cosmetics
.v8b - audio transcoding droplets:
MP3(lame), AAC(apple), ALAC(apple), AIF, FLAC(ffmpeg), WAV,
ReplayGained WAV(wavegain)
.v8c - fixed file-naming behavior, experimental pal-dvd droplet, older 10bit
x264 droplet added
.v9 - fresh ffmpeg version N-37510-g8c48652 with Duclair libvpx &
x264 0.120.2146 bcd41db
.v9b_skinny - vp8 (webm) droplet - using 2pass cq mode
(note: do not use VLC to test playback, rather mplayer and/or chrome),
binary clean-up.
.v10 - x(264) and vp8 droplets: better audio handling, better stream handling
(map option).
Talking batch counter in x(264) droplet.
.v10c - 10bit x264 droplets - xCRF21tenbit, xLOSSLESStenbit422
(ffmpeg with 10 bit version of x264 0.120.2164 da19765)
.v11 - bugfixes (map removed), better tmp filenaming: avoiding possible
collisions in x264 and vp8 droplets, other cosmetic fixes.
- additional x264 'HTC Wildfire S' droplet (separate download)
- additional standalone 'printDuration' droplet (separate download);
prints a 'HH.MM.SS.MMM - filename' listing
- additional png & jpg droplets (separate download);
converts movie to jpg or png sequence
- additional standalone md5sum droplet (separate download);
prints some md5sums
- fresh ffmpeg version N-40006-g4a80ebe with 8 bit x264 0.122.2184 5c85e0a
(separate download)
- experimental mplayer droplet (known problems: filters misbehavior,
yadif not working at all)
- additional standalone automator droplet app that lets you add/remove
comments to set of files (searchable by spotlight)
.v12 - v11 + all of the above + some more
.v12b - killing bugs
- additional git fresh ffmpeg + x264 (separate download);
may improve yadif
- additional catMKVs (mkvmerge append) droplet (separate download)
will eat folder(s) full of mkvs and cat them together
troubleshoot:
if pumpkin refuses to cooperate, replace the appropriate part of its script with (full path):
for files in "$@" ;do
