h264enc is a rather advanced shell script which can help you to encode video files or DVDs to the H.264 video format. It has built-in quality presets (34 so far), supports a lot of video (pre/postprocessing) filters and a few audio filters as well. Further it supports 9 different audio codecs and has a (limited) batch encoding capability. Muxing is also supported for the MKV, MP4 and OGM containers. h264enc by default outputs to AVI and then remuxes it to the chosen container. h264enc heavely relies on MEncoder and MPlayer as it uses both to do the whole setup/encoding

http://h264enc.sourceforge.net is a FAQ about h264enc, so if anyone is interested, just go put up some coffee and read it through
h264enc is also available from my openSUSE build service repo
