Chris,
Thanks for the quick response and for your generous
contributions. I'm transcoding down to mp4 to save
disk space so lossless transcode isn't going to help
me. I need to put more thought into how I want this to
work. My goal is to maximize quality and minimize HD
space and CPU resources (heat, noise, time).
