It's A Digital Disease!

I like to save a lot of video clips, when I do conversion I usually use handbrake and retry converts using the quality slider til I get the desired filesize, though obviously depending on the length of the video and framerate that can destroy the video.

As an example I have some clips 1920x1080 at 60FPS, 11 seconds long at 23.6MB in good quality as an MP4, but I can't help but feel it could be much more efficient, since I've seen several minute webms look pretty good as well.

The goal is to convert my video library to be more space efficient while keeping the video quality as high as I can, or losing very little. I'm not familiar with any of the newer file formats so maybe there's something better I could be using
