Hi bryrabknowles,

in general everytime splitting is used an additional step with TSMUXER is needed to combine the single *.264 files into one. This takes time, too. I guess that's why jdobbs decided to define a minimum m2ts file size.

But which speed gain do you expect? Maybe you could post a log file so that we can see the time needed for encoding. I assume that we are talking about a few minutes only for the whole rebuilding process. As a rule of thumb it was said already 30 years ago that speed gains below 33% are not noticable anyway. This applies to CPU, RAM and HDD Speed and for waiting
Even on my slower machine m2ts segments not being split (I use MULTIPROCESS=2) segments are encoded in 1-2 minutes.

So what are we talking about?
