[QUOTE="foxbenw, post: 835758, member: 115475"] I was really just asking to see how much it was about file size and how much about conversion speed, and whether .ts files were bad for any reason. I use videoredo for my ts files. that is to remove the adverts. but removing adverts is also quite an effective way of cutting file size too! That's all i was getting at really. it remuxes rather than reencodes so takes seconds rather than minutes/hours. Removing adverts and then remuxing to mkv can take a good third off the file size. that is enough for me so i don't do anything else with my ts files. i just wanted to point it out in case it hadn't been considered. also i am not sure that handbrake/freemake can retain the dvb subs? of course that may not be important. as for a quality/bitrate setting, from past tinkering the kind of reduction you are after would be achieved by h264 video at about 1100 kbps. this is actually very similar to the handbrake ipad setting. maybe you could try that for one of your files too? from memory the freemake ipad setting retains a similar quality and comes out with quite a big file. Anyway, try h264 at 1100. Ben [/QUOTE]
