FFMPEG & NORMALIZE Flags

As our demand for the VMX increases and we are transcoding multiple files almost non-stop, I'm seeing the need for transcoding on multiple computers.  I guess my question here is, what are the current basic command lines and flags used with FFMPEG and NORMALIZE (and possibly even mp4creator & mp4info) to create the actual VMX compliant MP4/H.264 files?  While I feel it's important to always use the VMX App by default, I find myself tieing it up constantly with 3-5 hour long meetings that I could transcode elsewhere on multiple computers.  I appreciate any and all help you could give me!  I just need a standard set of flags to adhere to, and I will gladly comply to it!  Many thanks in advance, Buddy Meilleur
