CLI x264 encoder for many titles?

[Valnar]

It's been a while since I've been here! Forgive a (re)newbie question.

I'm looking to rip an entire series I own on DVD. Usually my method for one-at-a-time videos is using Handbrake/Vidcoder, but then I post-process it with MKVToolnix to remove the global tags from MKV files. I have a hardware player that actually doesn't play files with tags, so it's quite cumbersome.

But now that I want to rip a 100 episodes from of a bunch of DVD's, I'd rather not do that. I know Handbrake has a CLI method, but I don't want to use Handbrake. What's the recommended app to do this these days? My plan is to rip all the DVD's to my hard drive, then I assume all the video/audio/subtitles/chapters are in the same 'location' in every one, so something I can script to just mass convert them all is ideal.


tl;dr. What do all those torrent "release" sites use to mass convert stuff?

Vidcoder has the option to add lots of video files at once,torrent prolly does the same.

Vidcoder is based on Handbrake so it automatically adds tags to every video, and as far as I know, you can’t disable that.

Any other recommendations? Especially something that can identify the convert directly from a ripped DVD structure?

The TV show in question is the original Star Trek. I imagine the layout of every episode is the same, with 4 per disc.

GUI works too, as long as it saves a profile I can just use for every disc fairly easily.

You can use makemkv,it will rip all the videos and put them in a mkv container without encoding them.

I definitely want to process them to H.264.
