Well I'm hoping that any settings I can learn can translate to whatever tool I use, if Staxrip provides a more up to date command line that makes more sense then perhaps I can use that and integrate the advice you have given me.
I have no doubt you know a whole lot more than anybody, but I'm not sufficiently expert to use the command lines on their own at the moment, I need a GUI to glue it all together for me.
So I'm hoping that with Staxrip I can sort all the rest, and get a working command line that DOES make sense so I can improve what I am doing.
I'm only using Xvid4PSP because its very easy to use, and whatever the go is with the strange command line, it is giving me a result.
However it sounds as if I may be able to get the same or better result, quicker using x264 more closely to how its meant to be used.
This is the whole output of a job in progress with Xvid4PSP if it makes anything clearer:
