		Framecycler (SequencePublisher/MetaRender)
		Nuke
		Shake
		Fusion
		http://avidemux.org/admWiki/index.php?title=Command_line_usage
		djv_convert
		ImageMagick+OpenQuicktime (alternative to ffmpeg)
		MEncoder (http://www.mplayerhq.hu)
		libquicktime + custom code
		qt-tools (qt_export tool)


One you haven't mentioned: Silverstack from Pomfort: www.pomfort.com

Our pipeline at the moment is: we render downsized, LUT-converted JPEGs in the same setup as the main DPX files as a second output. After the job is done I submit a job to the renderqueue of Silverstack (called Cinemator) on a small Mac mini to generate quicktimes from these JPEGs.

Silverstack can create templates for burnin, LUT conversion, codec, etc. which you can use while submitting the job to Cinemator on the commandline.

At the moment, Cinemator is a GUI app which can be fed by a commandline command, but what I heard is that they are working on a more sophisticated solution.

Maybe you want to have a look on it.
