I'm looking for available ffmpeg GUIs in order to transcode MPEG-2 files to MPEG-4 ( XviD video codec, AAC-LC audio codec and MP4 file format ). Any recommendations ?
Thanks for your help.

I think ffmpeg-x is your best shot.. but that's a mac program. It's certainly the most well-known and its featureset sounds impressing.

Thanks for your advice. Unfortunately, I'm not a Mac user and I'd prefer a Windows app ...

well what about MeGUI, its not exactly 100% what you are asking for, as its using mencoder and mp4creator for .mp4 muxing, but it uses the ffmpeg mpeg-4 video encoder

Thank you for your help Bond. I'm also evaluating MeGUI which is a very valuable tool, but I'd be interested in testing ffmpeg-only-based GUIs in order to encode audio, video and mux the tracks together into MP4 file format. I know that the MP4 muxing features in libavformat are not as good as mp4creator or GPAC, but things seem to evolve and I hope this will be improved in the next future.
I'd also want to avoid the DGIndex step and AviSynth scripts for very simple cases and import directly MPEG-2 files in order to transcode them to MPEG-4 ...

I don't know how to transcode an MPEG-2 file to MPEG-4 with ffdshow ( command line, VirtualDub, Graphedit, other ... ) !!??
Which process would you recommend ?
Thanks for your help.
