2. Yes, use ffmpeg!

The only problem with ffmpeg is that it is so powerful there are 1001 different options and browsing through the documentation can seem like getting a PhD in audio/video engineering. And a lot of people are turned off by a command-line interface

But ... I'd be willing to wager that all of the audio/video processing on cloudconvert.com is running ffmpeg to do the actual work.

So ... if audio/video processing is something you do routinely, take the time to get ffmpeg and run it locally on your computer. It'll wind up being a lot faster than waiting for the uploads/downloads to any site in the cloud.
