Yes. But at present HD programmes duplicate the main SD channels, where
compression is usually less severe. When I created a DVD from a
recording processed with the command line from #11297 I saw very little
difference - at least from a normal viewing distance. It could be
worthwhile in some circumstances.
Running the command from MythArchive but omitting the -copyts option
seems to work. Should be fixable in the encoder options.
