Season 4's historical Toronto settings deserve a clean encode.

Just remuxed my copy with ffmpeg to strip the PBS intro & add English subs:
ffmpeg -i "murdoch_s04_dvd.vob" \ -vf "yadif=1,scale=720:540:flags=lanczos" \ -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 19 \ -c:a libfdk_aac -b:a 128k \ -metadata title="Murdoch Mysteries S04E01" \ "murdoch_s04e01_final.mp4" ✅ Deinterlaces (yadif) ✅ Upscales slightly while preserving aspect ✅ Plex/Apple TV friendly
Use this ffmpeg filter chain for DVD/MPEG-2 sources:
ffmpeg -i input.vob -vf yadif=1 -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset slower -c:a aac -b:a 128k -movflags +faststart murdoch_s04e01.mp4 Add -map 0:s:0? to keep SDH subs from the PBS rip.
Anyone have S04E07 "Buffalo Shuffle" in better than 480p? (for video engineers or Plex library managers)
