WinFF is a handy video file converter that helps to batch convert videos and provides preview facility. Thus, you can watch how output video will look, before starting the actual conversion process. It is a Graphical User Interface of FFmpeg (that includes huge audio video codec library to convert videos), so you will be able to convert almost any video file, such as: mp4, vob, avi, flv, mkv, ogg, mpeg, etc. It is also useful to extract audio from video files or convert audio to video.
What makes WinFF different than many similar video converters is that it supports output for different devices. Like you can convert videos for phone (blackberry, iPod, Android, etc.) compatible formats, PSP, websites, etc.
Each device/format contains multiple presets to start the conversion. For example, for mobile formats, it supports 3gp, 3gp2, and mp3 presets.

For new users, it might be a difficult task for users to set right values for all these settings. Therefore, there must be some preset details available for all these features.
