I'm currently storing quite a lot of video recorded from OTA broadcasts (ATSC, in .ts files), and I'm wondering what settings people are generally using when they transcode to H.264. I'm not doing this for archival reasons, simply for disk space reasons, but I'd like to avoid losing much quality, if possible.
What are some suggested settings for doing these sorts of transcodes?
