Another Tdarr alternative with (i think) a more flexible and automatable setup is FileFlows (the free version is all you need) you can build node based rulesets and apply those rules to different libraries.
Tdarr is great if you are comfortable setting up a Docker environment. It is a great way to reprocess your whole library.
A good GUI alternative is Handbrake. It uses a different library than ffmpeg but can do the same stuff. One thing about Handbrake to remember is that it is centered around video encoding. So while ffmpeg can process your audio streams without touching the video stream, Handbrake will reencode video every time.
HandBrake leverages tools such as FFmpeg, x264, and x265 to create new MP4, MKV, or WebM video files
I think you might be confused because ffmpeg is the project and also the name of the executable, the library is libavcodec but it’s still ffmpeg. See here.
