Curious why you're bothering to do this now when 4tb harddrives are always on sale in the $90 range. 6+ years ago it made more sense but now it seems like too little too late. Just wondering....

I will do.
Now I'm testing it on a range of recordings, I'm seeing a few issues with ffmpeg/libraries, which I'm addressing with workarounds or reports to the ffmpeg devs.
The aim is to convert all old VDR1.6, and current VDR2.x recordings, including radio, as well automatic transcoding after a recording is made, retaining 100% perceived quality / stream content which is possible with careful codec/parameter selection. Perhaps a plugin one day to save as x264/aac if the stream isn't already in that format, as the space saving can be as much as 50% (e.g. last night an SD recording reduced from 995M to 497M).
Subtitle streams seem to be the largest issue currently - probably not so well tested.
