Thanks, I’ll remind myself to report back when I dive in! Ordered the backup drive today, so it’s already in motion. Like you I’m pretty laid back about my video editing work. Simple is good. I do edit a clip show for my kid every week these last two years so I’m at least slightly aware of these ideas, if only as a dilettante.
This looks promising! My main use case is Jellyfin through Android TV, and it looks like AV1 has support for that. I currently have about 6 Tb of kids cartoons that are eating up most of my media server, would be great to shrink those slightly.
I think before I try this, I’ll want to spring for an offline backup of the library, then begin transcoding… I need one anyway, at least now I’m excited enough to actually do it!
I’m starting to run low on space with my media server, this could be a good way to forestall having to buy hard drives that don’t suck!
This is right up my street, thanks!!
Hey, HISTV is showing a ton of promise right out the gates. Targeting 5mbps, I’m cutting anime episodes down from 2gb to 1gb with barely any noticeable change in quality. This is some gourmet shit, brethren.
