What is the best way to convert a movie library from BDremux to hevc\h265 on Windows?

Question

Video processing

The question is banal and simple:
What is the best way to convert a film library from BDRemux to HEVC? (Meaning which programs are more convenient / easiest)
From experience:
- it's clear that converting to the CPU is slower, but the quality is higher. I agree to wait
- Tried h265ify and handbrake. The first failed to run, the second is too complicated (although it converts).
- Windows 10, Ryzen 1600AF, 16GB RAM.. though does that matter?

What I want: Learn to code like the torrent tracker guys. In the sense of what parameters it is better to set, what to tweak where, so that the size is smaller and the quality is better. Well, what software is it being done now.
If there is somewhere a clear instruction (relevant for 2021) - I will be grateful.

//I also tried using ffmpeg via the command line, but this is generally an inconvenient horror :(
I would like a program where I could copy video parameters from mediainfo (for example) into an encoding preset.

ffmpeg. In fact, almost all software on this topic is wrappers for it.

on the CPU is slower but the quality is higher

Size/quality ratio, to be exact.

Ryzen 1600AF, 16GB RAM.. but does that matter?

Almost always, the limit will be the number of processor threads. You will run into them much earlier than into memory.

In the sense of what parameters it is better to set, what to tweak where, so that the size is smaller and the quality is better.

Long and hard to smoke profile forum. There are no universal settings. From experience - it's not worth it, personally I use this one

sample

ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "INPUT" -c:v libx265 -profile:v main10 -pix_fmt yuv420p10le -preset slow -crf 20 -x265-params "no-info=1:aq-mode=3:no-strong-intra-smoothing=1:range=full:colorprim=bt709:transfer=bt709:colormatrix=bt709" -an "OUTPUT"

for movies in 8 bit.

Well, what software is it being done now.

It doesn't make much sense to fence the garden on top of ffmpeg, so they use it. Well, it's also possible mkvtoolnix gui, it's convenient to shift tracks there.

//tried also through ffmpeg through the command line, but it's generally uncomfortable horror :(

Usually they collect just typical commands for it and then just copy it. I have something similar.
There is no need to install any additional software that will store these presets. Copying from a text document or spreadsheet is not difficult. Enter the name of the input and output file there too.

Answer 2

ffmpeg+bat file with presets/settings and it's not a horror but a normal good program)
Well, or use something like Movavi
Although personally I've been saving just torrent files for a couple of years and watching streaming movies... I don't see much sense in keeping them

Answer 3

Professionals who not only transcode video, but also process it, use avisynth/vapoursynth + avs2yuv + x264/x265.
