How to fix files being too short or too small after transcoding

My flows have both file size checks and file duration checks to ensure that TDARR isn't mangling the files. However, sometimes I'm running into files that keep being either too short or too small. I don't want to just let these pass through as it could result in trash in the collection, but I also don't want to leave them in h264 because that's just flushing drive capacity down the tube.

So, my question...how can I fix this without it wrecking my files?

Note: The files are not replacing, they're just 'failing out' and leaving the original H264 file in place.

Stutter in BigBox?

I'm running BigBox as the frontend for a 'game console' made out of a Minisforum UM790 Pro Mini PC with 64GB of DDR5 RAM (16GB dedicated to the APU). In Bigbox, I'm noticing that it's not really smooth going from one console to the next. It's rather jerky, and sometimes stutters. The games run just fine, hell I've been playing Oblivion Remastered on it, it's just Bigbox.

How do you handle rom hacks that don't have art?

It might be controversial, but for the rom hacks in my collection that don't have creator made art I feed the original game's cover art into GPT and tell it to turn it into a cover for rom hack "INSERT NAME HERE". It does a surprisingly good job.

Here's a link to one example I generated for the hack: Pokémon Shiny Gold Sigma. I fed it the cover art for Pokémon FireRed and specifically told it to use Ho-Oh on the cover.
