I'm encoding my TV recordings, which are in mp4 as well as mpeg2. I'm using variable bitrate with a crf of 18. When I encode mp4 files, everything is fine. They are reduced to about half the size. Whenever MediaCoder / x264 come across mpeg2 files, the size is double the original one. Why?
TIA for your replies.
