If someone has figured out how to drive HandBrake
like that, can they<br>
please post how it's done?<br>
<br>
With SD, I used to use lossless transcode to cut
adverts and then<br>
archive with HandBrake, but now most of my content
is HD, I've<br>
more or less given up.<br>

<div class="im"> For my HD recordings, I use mythtranscode
with the --mpeg2 and --honorcutlist options to create a
new file, then send that to HandBrakeCLI with "--preset
Normal" to create the final video. For me, Handbrake's
output file is around 1/10th the size of its input file.<br>

That doesn't sound right. By clipping commercials, you're
going to chop off maybe 35% of a recording. MPEG2 to H264
is going to get you another 2-3x. I could see 1/5th the
original recording, but not 1/10th unless you're downscaling
the video.<br>

It's a cell shaded cartoon. Of course it's going to compress
extremely well. The only reason the original was 15.5Mbps is
because one way or another, they had to fill the ATSC broadcast
stream. That's not going to be indicative of the vast majority of
recordings.<br>
