In their own words
Internet Friendly Media Encoder
Internet Friendly Media Encoder (IFME) is a free Windows and Linux tool for encoding, remuxing, and repackaging video and audio. Founded in 2011, it supports batch conversion, hardware acceleration, and audio extraction. Containers listed include AVI, MP4, MKV, TS, M2TS, MPG, MPEG, WebM, and WMV; codec options include MPEG-1/2, WMV-2, H.263, H.264, H.265, H.266, AV1, VP8, and VP9. IFME handles subtitles and font attachments, combines multiple streams, removes unwanted streams, and extracts subtitles from another video. Bundled video encoders include x264, x265, SVT-AV1, uvg266, vvenc, libvpx, Xvid, MPEG-1/2, and WMV 8. Audio options include AAC, Opus, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AC-3, MP2, MP3, WMA, and WAV. JSON manifests let users update, replace, or add encoders without recompiling. AviSynth scripts support advanced processing. Hardware encoding for H.264, H.265, and AV1 uses FFmpeg, NVEncC, or QSVEncC. An AVX-capable CPU is required, with AVX2 strongly recommended. Linux needs Mono and user-supplied encoder binaries because bundled plugins are Windows binaries. The project lists GPL-2.0 licensing, recommends SourceForge downloads, and warns codecs may involve patent royalties.
