There was a decent wrapper tool called "transcode" which I really liked. Unfortunately went unmaintained and seems to have been forgotten by the internet (webpage has went away and I can only find some traces of its existance in some wikis).
Digging a bit deeper it seems the fate was the main developer lacking time and not finding anyone stepping in for four years and Berlios shutting down their servers. Makes you wonder which other open source projects have just vanished.

Call for developers
Transcode, like any opensource project, is always in need of contributions, but the situation has reached crisis point in recent weeks.
Despite a rich roadmap and plenty of ideas and proposals, the project is short of developers and close to stall. Moreover, one of the main developers (myself) has suspended its contribution to the development and maintainance for lack of time.
If you are interested in partecipating, bring it on! This is the right time! Join the development mailing list: transcode-devel at exit1 dot org (don't worry, the traffic is very low) and learn how you can contribute to the project.
Transcode needs you!
PLEASE NOTE!
Transcode does'nt need hardware or money donations!
