One trip to another format using a high enough bitrate is not an awful thing. Given that I've got enough fast storage, I use yuv4mpeg as an intermediate right now. > 2) Would your recommendation change if I had limited disk space to store > intermediates? What you're doing right now actually sounds like a good compromise.
