MeGUI is my preferred encoder on Windows, something I still haven’t found an equivalent for in OS X (though Handbrake is pretty close). It’s incredibly powerful, but unfortunately it can be a bit difficult and confusing to get it setup at first. So I give you the first in a series of videos about encoding video covering everything from encoding to deinterlacing to fixing levels on both Windows and OS X.
