I added a shell script transcodehb.sh to the wiki:  https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Transcodehb.sh <https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Transcodehb.sh>  that only used 2 arguments besides the input/output
as follows:  --preset=Normal -d slow

the presets just use the normal settings and then adds slow deinterlace.

If you are interested, the later versions of handbrake do give good diagnostics, and I use those to decide whether to keep the transcoding, or dump it and keep the original mpg2 recording. It needs updating for v.28 if you want to use the entire shell as I added it when I was using .27. I have updated the shell for .28, and if you were interested in it for the rest of the shell, I’ll update it. NOTE that the shell currently only does handbrake, and not the transcode used to remove cuts.
