Hi!

I want to backup my dvds, hd-dvds and blurays to my hard disk, and currently I'm using makemkv decrypt it. I also want to make it a bit smaller, so I need to reencode the videostream. Is there any easy way to do this? Currently I am trying this with MeGui, using the One Click mode, but it cant read the mkv, so I always have to demux it first.
Is there a more easy way to this? I dont need much encoding controll. The only controll I need is what codec is used, the output resolution, and a maximum for the output size.
thx.

Buy neuron2's *NV tools license if you have an NVIDIA GPU; they can parse MKV files for MPEG-2/H.264/VC-1 and will decode it on your GPU. Otherwise, you're stuck with DSS2() if you want a reasonable solution that doesn't involve demuxing (but this is still suboptimal for, e.g., pulldown handling).
