I'd reach for handbrake. it can handle anything that ffmpeg can and it gives an intuitive GUI. I use it to rip all my DVDs to local MP4 files.
I don't know. Mplayer doesn't get enough love these days from users - it's fantastic software, and it needs more promotion :)
Last time I tried Handbrake, it wouldn't work - although that was about a year ago and I forget what happened. The time before (many years ago) I used it, it was fine.
One could use Tdarr too for transcoding, config was a bit weird, but I don't think it could access "external media".
