OK guys, here's the deal: I recently went on a "check to make sure all your stuff is up to date" kick. Found that about 10 days a new SVN build of Handbrake was released on Windows. "Looks nice" I thought. Then I discovered the developers have straight up REMOVED support for Xvid entirely. They're basically saying "Xvid is old and H.264 is the new thing, its better!" Cue "research mode" and here I am. My goal is to figure out how to encode from DVD to H.264 using the latest Handbrake. It looks like they have much improved the control over the H.264 encoder, check out this screen cap:
Since I have a pretty decent quad core system and a pile of already-ripped DVDs here, I'm gonna try to build an equivalent preset for this new-fangled Handbrake.
