The LGA1366 i7 is better equipped for multi-GPU operation, while the LGA1156 is not perfect for that role. IIRC, all of Core i7s offer HyperThreading.

Depends on the applications. In gaming, you won't see much difference, if at all, between HT on and off. In other applications, such as video encoding, you may see a noticeable difference between them.

In gaming, its been shown that HT actually gives worse performance, by trying to do the extra threading, it actually is slower than just using the core threads

Encoding is the process of converting an original video file to another format, usually with some level of compression involved. Transcoding is essentially the same as encoding but usually refers to the 2nd or more conversion to another format, but you could use it in the same way as encoding. The two terms are often interchanged.
The software you use depends on:
1) Your budget(if you buy commercial software)
2) What your input files are
3) What output file you want (note that many files are just containers that can store data in several different formats, like MP4 and AVI)
4) Whether you want CPU or GPU (CUDA/Stream) transcoding.
5) Whether you also want an integrated video editor/transcoder

I use Handbrake for encoding using x264 (ie. H.264 format). I don't use anything else because I don't encode to any other formats. It depends what you want to do.

Those are containers, but I assume you'll be using H.264 right? You could store other encoded data in those containers as well, but H.264 is the most common for HD stuff now.

Probably contains far more useless info than you need but there's the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC
Basically you have two components to most files. The compression/encoding standard and the container. Containers are things like AVI, MKV, MP4 etc. They describe the data they contain and how it is meant to be read. The data will be encoded using a particular standard such as MPEG-1, MPEG-2, WMV and H.264. The standard used partially determines the quality, file size and compatibility of a video file. A .mp4 file may contain one of several different standards, which means that if your program can read one MP4 it may not be able to read another. The video playback program must support both the container and the standard to work.
To be even more confusing some standards go by multiple names. H.264 is also called AVC and MPEG-4 Part 10 (usually not the latter).
This might be of help too: http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/143/59/

i use handbrake and xtodvdconverter. Both use my i7 real nice super fast.
A buddy of mine just got a job for $500 to convert 700 DvDs to digital, lol way undercut himself, he found out after he started. Thank god him and I both use newsgroups instead of torrents cause he just ended up downloading most of them already converted saved weeks of time. Its nice to Download 11gigs per hour.

Problem is, theres alot of interaction between the cpu and the gpu, and the cpu, with HT on, keeps wanting to thread it out to 8 threads, which takes time/cycles, and its not needed, so you end up losing those cycles/time.
Other apps however dont have that interaction, and either show no loss or gain either, and some apps use the extra threads, and are much quicker
PS me too
