Product Description:
h264enc is a shell script which encodes video files or DVDs to the H.264 format using MEncoder. The script is targeted primarily at power users who like to tweak their settings in order to achieve best possible quality

The script supports virtually all options of the libx264 library and has further support for 1-pass, 2-pass, 3-pass and fixed-quant encoding modes, 11 different software scalers, DVD cropping, interlaced encoding, deinterlacing of video content, setting output frame rate value, various audio codecs (MP2, MP3, AC3, AAC, PCM, ADPCM), file splitting, and more....

There's a man page which provides further info on the h264enc script. To access it after installation, open a console and type "man h264enc" without the quotes.

Note: instead of typing 'n' every time you don't want to use a specific option, you can just hit enter. I also suggest to read the x264 part of the MPlayer man page so you
can get more familiar with what a specific option does as most of the x264 options supported by this script may have a huge impact on quality/encoding speed.

To obtain best performance, I suggest to download MPlayer and the libx264 library and compile them yourself. You should use the appropriate CFLAGS at compilation time to optimize the code for your hardware architecture (example: CFLAGS="-O3 march=athlon-xp mtune=athlon-xp -finline-functions -freorder-blocks -fexpensive-optimizations")
