From rule No 12)
Code:
Do not ask "what's best" because this question cannot be answered objectively. Each and everyone has their own view about what's best 
in a certain area. The best is what works best for you!
Your thread could be locked if you dont change title to eg "Good batch encoder?".

Staxrip: the most complete, supports Vapoursynth and Avisynth+

Hybrid: has a lot of options, but does not support Vapoursynth, at least for the moment

Handbrake: much easier, but lacks a lot of options

Vidcoder: a Handbrake frontend, but even easier to use

So grouchy, pandy, are you categorically stating that ffmpeg is the best ?

I simply commented on a statement that may or may not have implied that ffmpeg could or could not be close to a non-sub-optimal solution for something related to processing many video files in an automated manner.

G, you sound somewhat uncommitted, is it the best, or not?

This cannot be answered with a simple yes or no. For someone who may consider a non-gui based solution it may be a solution close to what some people consider "the best". Other opinions exist. I will have my press secretary issue a statement in the morning or in the near future.

FFMpeg has been mentioned, if you are a bit familiar with batch files you'll find it very useful for this purpose. There are a bunch of guides around, this one for example.
I can't speak for graphical user interface alternatives, I don't use them.

It is used by most of previously mentioned and OP asks quite clearly 'batch' - i can imagine other batch encoders but ffmpeg is mature, well maintained and almost complete solution and perfectly matching OP question (before edit/moderation).
Consider this as "categorical" statement (even if i'm not sure what you mean by "categorical").
