I have Game of Thrones Season 1 on Bluray and want to rencode it to Mkv.
What's best way to go about doing this.
VSO convert ultimate seems good. i can drop it down to 4gb Per episode with 80% of the original quality including it wil support CUDA encoding.
Any alternatives would be better please recommend i need it hardware accelerated becase you know converting 1080p Bluray isos will take awhile.
Heard 2-pass 8k Bitrat should be optimal with DTS audio.
I use Media Coder. Constantly updated and great options.
Handbreak is also very good.
In extension to my previous post, MakeMKV is good for ripping the movie into a huge MKV file, then use MediaCoder to shrink the size.

CUDA encoding is s
hithouse quality, you really want to use x264.
Want to do it the way a scene release encoder would do it, the way that gets the best possible quality?
1. (If you have a Bluray disk or an ISO) Decrypt the BD with something AnyDVD-HD, DVDFab, rip the contents to HDD. You should have a lot of transport streams (.M2TS) and lots of other stuff.
2. Demux the audio out of the transport streams with eac3to. Mux the video to MKV with MKVMerge.
3. Write yourself an avs script, FFMS2 (ie. ffvideosource("video.mkv")) for input/decode, IVTC or deinterlace if needed. Encode the video with x264. If the audio is lossy just leave it, if it's lossless you can encode it to save space if you want.
4. Mux everything together to MKV (MKVMerge) or MP4 (MP4box).
Or you can use MeGUI as a front-end for everything.

Besides for decrypting the BDISO, yes it can do everything else.
2. Tools -

Is Game of Thrones actually good?
question if i already remux them to mkv. would it be easier to recode them with x264 to MKV

You pretty much just encode the video, encode the audio if you want, and mux the result. The same thing either way.
FFMS2 gives frame accurate reading and seeking on MKV, while transport stream support is more shaky, that's the main reason why people recommend muxing from M2TS to MKV before encoding. DirectShowSource is never really frame accurate on anything.
There's DGDecodeNV too, which uses CUDA to decode, and is supposed to be perfectly accurate on transport streams, but that sort of costs money. Don't know if you can find a pirated version of it or not. I don't have an NVidia GPU so I never really looked into it.
