RB has this one wonderfull feature of Distributed encoding - which is probably unique... (Iīve seen Mediaencoder having some network settings.. never got it to work).

This way your file can be split up into many small parts - and every PC in your network can contribute encoding..

Thatīs the speed advantage....

Of course, RB does some muxing, indexing, etc... This is helpful and necessary to keep everything together and in sync... Handbrake (for exmaple) can deal with a videofile without that many "pre-steps", because it simply starts at the beginnig (but take a look at staxrip, wich demuxes also). Handbrake does subtitle scanning which can take a while, too..

But all this time (preparing before encoding) is "next to nothing" compared to the encoding time itself when using x265 in 4k and high quality settings (if you filter, it gets even worse)...

My suggestions of building a simple remuxing tool, that also offers some filtering, denoising, & DE, would be very welcome, as most 4K movies probably don't require encoding, and I'm not too interested in reducing file size.
And here probably lies the biggest misunderstanding....
Filtering, Denoising (which is filtering).... requires re-encoding.. There is NO WAY to simply remux and have a filter applied....

So your suggestion is impossible (not because no one wants to try, it really is impossible!).
