Tries to convert time-shifted (thus free in AU) OTA interlaced and progressive recordings to non-interlaced (progressive) formats which thus are playable by Chromecasts and thus are suitable for casting.
Input: .ts container files with mpeg2/h.264 interlaced or progressive video and mp2/ac3/aac audio.
Output: .mp4 container files with deinterlaced h.264 video codec and aac audio codec.
Tries to deal with seemingly random-ish bitrate detections and aspect-ratios and audio-delays and yucky recording glitches.
Relies heavily on the now-defunct VideoReDo product (the author died and the business ceased to operate in 2023)
to "QuickStreamFix" video source files into intermediate files by identifing and fixing video capture anolamies beofre
transcoding using vapoursynth/DGtools/python3/vbscript/FFMPEG.
Tries to deinterlace if required.
Tries to slightly denoise and sharpen with settings that depend on source codec and specific content.
