i have lots of downloaded… ISOs… that i need to converto to save space. I would like to make them all of the same size, let’s say 720p, and same format, let’s say h265.
I am on linux and the… ISOs… are sorted into a neatly named hierarchy of sub-folderds, which i want to preserve too. What is the best tool (CLI) for the scope? I can use ffmpeg with a bash script, but is there anything better suited?
Usually it’s not worth it. Redownload your videos in the desired size. Use radarr et al to manage it.
There are People who are specialized on the task.only use raw material to encode. Reencoding makes quality worse. And time and effort isn’t worth it.
It’s much cheaper to buy more drives than to reencode a large library to av1 in order to save space.
