EDIT: Oops. Just realized there's an entire forum dedicated to MPEG4 Encoder GUIs. This question probably best belongs in there.
I'd like to encode a bunch of my Blu-ray movies into MP4 or MKV files but want to get the fastest setup going on my i7-2700k (4 cores/8 threads).
Considering x264 supports direct FFMS input, I would think it would be most efficient to use this for encoding of the Blu-ray movie if all I'm going to do is crop the black borders. Most talk centers around using multi-threaded AviSynth, but is that even necessary if I don't plan on using any video filters? Seems like an unnecessary step to use AVISynth for the sole purpose of serving the input video frames to x264, when it can decode the input directly (and I imagine more efficiently with true 64-bit multi-threaded support).
Of course I could do this manually, but if there's a GUI to at least help with with the demuxing of video/audio and remuxing final output that'd be ideal. I could be wrong, but it seems MeGUI is built around AVISynth, and I would not be able to use direct input to x264.
