there's a magnificent help function built into the GUI (just right click on any part of the gui window that you want more information about) that brings up your preferred lib encoder's extended help information in cmd prompt, but this can still be daunting to a layman if you have hardly any encoding experience under your belt. stax and hybrid will be incredibly difficult for no0b encoders. The two best front-ends out there, and they're totally FREE :D If you want a great StaxRip alternative, check out Hybrid. I prefer to decrypt and backup my BDR/UHD discs to my SSD with MakeMKV (AnyDVD has a time limit and costs 60$ MakeMKV is perpetually free and I like the MakeMKV community a lot more than the RedFox community), transcode the 1:1 MakeMKV rip to either AVC or HEVC with Stax, and then remux the transcode with the MKVToolNix tool kit to polish off the finished matroska's metadata (i'm a stat whore, so i need informative labels on all my matroska tracks). StaxRip keeps all HDR VUI stats/info and, once you familiarize yourself with the x264/x264 CLI after weeks/months of practice encodes, becomes the absolute go-to tool for your encoding needs. It's leaps and bounds better than any HandBrake based frontend, largely because it has a 10bit pipe for output as opposed to HandBrake's 8bit-to-10bit conversion pipe for output. My favorite ripping GUI front end, by large and by far.
