I really like the results obtained by running mythtranscode,
used in<br>
fifodir mode into ffmpeg. You still get to cut adverts out,
plus<br>
you get full control of recompression. You can maintain
interlace, or<br>
deinterlace and double the frame rate. My script is linked to
from<br>
the mythtranscode wiki page: <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythtranscode" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythtranscode</a>.<br>
May not do exactly what you want, but should be easy to alter.<br>

<div>Can you change from HD to SD and still keep the Mpeg-ts
container? Or does it have to go into a nuv?</div>

No and no. FIFO mode in mythtranscode opens a pair of named pipes
on the filesystem, and feeds the raw audio and video streams into
them. These pipes use the standard 64KB POSIX buffering, so as you
pull data from them, mythtranscode pushes more data into them, in
FIFO ordering. The video is clipped, deinterlaced, cropped, and
filtered however you have configured, but it is not encoded nor is
it multiplexed into any form of container. It is left up to you to
do those things.<br>
