Oliver,

Never mind my last post. I tried the following:

ffmpeg -i '/Users/me/Downloads/philanthropist.ts' -map 0:0 -vf decimate=cycle=5,crop=1920:1024:0:28 -c:v h264_videotoolbox -b:v 3000k -color_primaries:v bt709 -color_trc:v bt709 -colorspace:v bt709 -metadata:s:v "title=" -disposition:v default -map 0:1 -c:a:0 copy -metadata:s:a:0 "title=" -disposition:a:0 default -metadata:g "title=" -r 24 -movflags disable_chpl '/Users/me/Downloads/philanthropist.mp4' 2>&1 | tr '\r' '\n'

It appears to work quite well! Thanks.

Sincerely,
L. Lee
