Closed captions have never worked when using hardware transcoding. This may change in the future now that we have updated the transcoder code.

In your initial post you stated that ā€œyou shouldnā€™t be able to notice any differenceā€œ.

Over the last week (since above public release) Iā€™ve had more opportunities to use the Web UI for viewing files requiring transcoding (although I hadnā€™t really been using the last 3-5 months), as most channels are now H.264 (remux) for me.

It seems to me that transcoding for older files in mpeg2 is substantially improvedā€¦My Qnap struggled with these same files last year, many times <1.0 rate. Now I havenā€™t seen rate <1.0.

Your opinion?

The Intel transcoder was updates so improvements are not unexpected. We also added hardware deinterlacing option a few months ago which helps with Intel transcoding rates.
