Has anyone made a good GUI frontend for accessing the various features of FFMPEG? Sometimes you just want to remux a video without doing any transcoding, or join several video and audio streams together (same codecs).

Handbrake fits the bill, I think!

It's a great tool. Little long in the tooth these days, but gets the job done.

Handbrake receives pretty regular updates.

Seconded, HandBrake[0] is great for routine tasks / workflows. The UI could be simplified just a tad for super duper simple stuff (ex. ripping a multi-episode tv show disc but don't care about disc extras? you kind of have to hunt and poke based on stream length to decide which parts are the actual episodes. The app itself could probably reliably guess and present you with a 1-click 'queue these up' flow for instance) but otherwise really a wonderful tool!

Past that, I'm on the command line haha

Handbrake can’t even reencode a video keeping the audio intact.
