Can you tell me more about reencoding to save space?

If you reencode to a more efficient codec, you can save ridiculous amounts of space. If you’re interested in reencoding and are willing to play with self hosting, look into Tdarr, it’s an app that can reencode your whole library. Been using it for a while after switching from my personal solution has been wonderful. I just put files into my media directories and it picks it up, reencodes the file and replaces the original if everything checks out.

There is a trade off between just getting more storage and reencoding. I enjoy seeing the results of the re-encodes, but it’s more cost effective to just get a larger hard drive.

I don’t know anything about this new one they’re talking about, but here is a comparison between h.264 (the current industry standard) and h.265.

The short version: Basically the same quality but half the file size, but it takes much longer to encode.

I wouldn’t call h.264 the current industry standard. It’s the smallest common denominator since more or less every device that’s capable of streaming video can decode h.264. However h.265 is pretty much standard for resolutions above 1080p. AV1 is nowhere near standard yet, though.
