I use Handbrake to encode piano practice sessions to be sent to the piano teacher. Since the teacher cares more about audio quality I configure Handbrake to use the original audio stream. I dial down the video quality from the default 24 or so to 28 for lower quality. Artifacts are somewhat visible but acceptable. The multi-gig files from the camera become small enough to be emailed directly.

However while Handbrake supports this use case perfectly I don't think there's a way to re-encode the audio but keeping the video. I guess that's when this submission comes handy.
