Hello! I recently listened to a podcast that talked about how storing media files in .av1 format is very efficient and storage-friendly. I’ve been storing my files in .mkv format, but now I’m considering using Handbrake or a similar service to convert all my video files to .av1 if it’s more compressed than .mkv. So;
- What format do you store your media?
- What is the optimal way of storing media?
- Do you use handbrake or similar services (feel free to suggest) to convert media files?
In whichever format it came in. If someone has a guide on how to convert from whatever to x264/5 with minimal loss it would be appreciated.
When I try with hand break the quality dips to much to not make the conversion worth it.
As others here have mentioned, Tdarr can handle a lot of it automatically
