Do you have a link to a good "getting started" article written for a desktop user? (someone looking to encode nice looking videos, not build an encoding infrastructure)
This seems like an issue with a great deal of nuance, and I'd find such a resource invaluable.
- DarkShikari 17y agoFor a normal desktop user, you should try one of the many encoding GUIs available. I'd recommend Staxrip, Ripbot264, or Handbrake; all are relatively simple GUIs built around x264. For Handbrake, make sure you get the latest snapshot (the last release, 0.9.3, is very outdated). On Linux or Mac, there are fewer options, but Handbrake is still one of them. If you prefer a commandline interface, see http://rob.opendot.cl/index.php/useful-stuff/ffmpeg-x264-encoding-guide/ http://rob.opendot.cl/index.php/useful-stuff/ffmpeg-x264-enc... . Handbrake has a great support channel on Freenode (#handbrake) as well.
