Hello Everyone,
I’m currently looking for a way to optimise even further the amount of video file I have, I mainly store anime and series episodes.
Currently what I do is : Getting the video on my main computer (5800X3D + 1080ti) Convert it using Handbrake to H265 NVENC then store it on my server which is basically a Ubuntu server (i7 8700 no graphic cards) with mainly a zfs pool.
I’m looking to improve this to getting directly the video on my server, converting it using handbrake (I’m considering getting an intel ark card to switch to AV1 instead of H265) and storing it directly on it.
The issues I’m currently facing are mainly concerning Handbrake itself, the support on linux using hardware encoding looks limited I still have to make more testing but I was wondering if anyone got a better solution than what I’m currently envisaging.
you wouldn’t like it. I scale everything down to 576p. The result is small movie but there is def a loss of quality. I tuned it to the limit as far as trading file size and quality. 576p is actually standard definition but if done right the result looks like HD. At least to me.
