After sorting out some subtitle issues with the next batch of encodes and a lot of prep work I've got the next set onto the servers. Encodes are looking great as they're coming in at around 1 hour and 15 minutes per episode. Sorted the subtitle issue by accident as I can point to multiple attachment directories in the `mkvmerge` module.
#ffmpeg

Small thing I noticed today: splitting `.mkv` files using `ffmpeg` via the `-ss` and `-t` options works great, but the resulting `.mkv` file contains the wrong number of frames in the metadata. Evidently the total frames from the source file gets written into the metadata instead of the resulting frames post-splitting which is annoying. Not a deal breaker, but kind of annoying...easy to fix with a quick run through `mkvmerge` but still just weird.

Any good ffmpeg alternatives out there?

Time to punish the new servers. Also, muxed the `m2ts` to `mkv` files so there are functional progress bars this time.

Alright, bumped the encoder VM from 8 to 12 cores, let's see if this helps out with the encode times. I have a sneaking suspicion it will not.
