i normally copy 'main movie' iso to an internal ssd and then rip to mp4 from there. my desktop has 5 bd drives so i can batch process.

Then i let my PC batch encode overnight and wondershare automatically shuts down the computer when finished. I can move from disc to disc every 5-10 minutes. The reason i do it this way, instead of all in 1 step, is because it's quicker for TV series to pop discs in and out of my computer. Encoding via CPU would take 4 hours per blu-ray. It takes about 20-30 minutes for blu rays and 5-10 minutes for dvds. Then i use Wondershare Video ultimate to batch GPU encode onto the NAS. It's relatively fast and i can continually go through dvd's every 5-10 minutes. I use MakeMkv on my desktop to rip my blu-rays and dvds to MKV files.

If you set multiple cores, it'll use your GPU for 1, then use other CPU cores for encoding the other files. If you do get wondershare, make sure you set your cpu core numbers to 1. And because of the lack of compatibility on the playback end of things, i continue to stick with h.264 which everything can hardware decode. So essentially, i can only watch it on my laptop. So tablets, my apple tv, and my firetv(amazon only unlocks h.265 encoding for approved apps), all can't play h.265 well. However, none of my boxes support h.265 hardware decoding, so it's all decoded on cpu, and basically choppy and slow in high bitrate movies. So h.265 is cpu encoding only, and crazy slow. Now H.265(HEVC) is a whole different beast, and while my GPU technically has a hardware h.265 encoder, i can't find any current software to take advantage of it.

Wondershare encoded each ~45 minute episode into 8kbps bitrate h.264 mp4's in 7 minutes each episode. I just ripped the last season of smallville from Blu-ray using makeMKV(5.3GB per file).
