There was a great mac app once upon a time called VisualHub that would  
convert anything to anything.  It was essentially a front-end to  
ffmpeg, vlc and Quicktime with all the presets reduced to target (DVD,  
mp4, wmv, PSP, iTunes) and quality (five steps, low to high).

It died with Techspansion, but an open source project called  
TranscoderRedux has sprung up to replace it.  Redux is nothing more  
than a handful of AppleScripts, but not yet mature enough to be  
useful.  Something like this should be easy to put together with Qt,  
$FAVORITE_SCRIPTING_LANG and some transcoding-fu.
