I am looking to buy some Video converter software.

Purpose:
1) Convert to small MP4 files to play in CAR player. (my files all like 10GB mkv blue ray rips or more).
2) Crop the movies to 16:9 ( make it bigger, dun care if stretch and looks weird, CAR screen so small, must maximize viewing area).
3) Download directly from Youtube and convert to mp4 videos.
4) Fastest encoding (support CUDA or IntelQuicksync)
I have narrowed to a few:
1) Aimersoft - USD 41
2) Any Video Converter - USD 49

Tested Any Video Converter, seems to do what i need fine, but haven't figure out how to crop and make it 16:9 yet.
Aimersoft seems to do what i want easily with the resizing to 16:9.

Encoding speed, dunno which is faster or support CUDA/QuickSync properly.

Any suggestions or ideas?

I know there are some free software like Handbrake, which seems overly complicated and not so easy to resize/crop.

Thank you.
