Remember though... you can't just "import" the files or choose an ALTERNATE output option that keeps the original. They have to be reencoded to ALTERNATE output to get proper settings. Setting #10 in the default ALTERNATE.TXT file might be a good choice: "MKV Container, 1920x1080, 640Kbs DD5.1".
Thanks for the reply!
I'm aware 4k to 1080p is going to be a re-encode and I did try using the ALTERNATE_BLURAY=1 line but the resulting BD would not play on my PS4 (did work fine in another standalone though).
Upon further inspection I noticed slices, vbv-maxrate, GOP size were out of spec so I don't think the ALTERNATE_BLURAY=1 line was doing its job.

I have since added this to the INI file:
TWEAK_ALTERNATE= --slices 4 --vbv-maxrate 35000

and to alternate.txt:
vKeyint=24

to keep those in spec but was wondering if there's an easier way to do that. Haven't had the chance to test the resulting files on the PS4 yet.
