What's the best open source GUI to compress videos on linux? (programming.dev)

I'd like to compress my videos without using the terminal, what is the best GUI today that can do this?

Is this kind of program popular on linux? I know that ffmpeg is very popular on the terminal

Handbrake is good for a few files, but I still prefer ffmpeg when doing a large batch.

You can batch processes in handbrake.

Why? I have done ~100 files in one batch with no issue?

It's easier to type a command than it is to add files to Handbrake one at a time. I can also run multiple encodes simultaneously. It takes 2-4 to max out my CPU depending on the codec and resolution.

Why one at a time? Just load a folder and apply the same settings to all of them. If the settings are different per file.. not sure which method would be less annoying.

It doesn't let me select more than 1 file to add.

I think the option was single file or whole folder.
