title: Recommendation on the best quality/performance H264 encoder for video encoding?
body: <p>I am looking for a video encoder that is fast, requires less CPU power and produces very good quality mp4 video. </p>
  
  <p>The input videos can be in any format and uploaded by users.</p>
  
  <p>Only thing I know is FFMPEG library.</p>
  
  <p>Is there anything else that is better?</p>
  
  <p>The program must have a batch utility (exe) that I am interested in.</p>
  
  <p>I would appreciate if you kindly share your knowledge.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
