I have a digital satellite receivers and use these to record TV stuff on external hard disk. And the few stuff I want to keep, I plan to encode using ffmpeg.

Some TV stations (like arte) broadcast in quite a good quality, but lots of "private channels" (commercial stations) often broadcast in less good quality.

I put together two sets for encoding with ffmpeg, they both have okay to inferior quality when encoding a good quality broadcast, and always inferior quality when encoding less good quality source.

Here are my sets so far:

time ffmpeg -v error -y -i INFILE -crf 35.0 -vcodec libx264 -preset slow -acodec libvo_aacenc -ar 48000 -ab 128k -coder 1 -flags +loop -vf yadif OUTFILE

and

ffmpeg -v error -y -flags +ilme+ildct -i INFILE -crf 35.0 -vcodec libx264 -preset slow -acodec libvo_aacenc -ar 48000 -ab 128k -coder 1 -flags +loop -mbd rd -trellis 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 100 OUTFILE


I hope I did choose the right sub-forum for my question, if not, please move the post.
