Hi, fellow datahoarder, I am new here and not a native English speaker, so please bear with me.
I have recently begun collecting an ungodly amount of pono vids, and a lack of space on my NAS has forcibly stopped this addition. To cope with the ongoing addiction I have bought new HDDs and put them in my nas. I have noticed that lots of these vids are in older uncompress format and wonder if there are ways to compress them (all 20 TB of them)
So I would like to ask you fellow, which format is appropriate for good compression and quality, is there any way to process them in batches with multiple video resolutions and encoder?
I have all vids stored on my NAS and it is connected with 10gbps sfp cable to my switch, I have quite a lot of hardware available to me such as threadripper rigs, nvidia gpus and also amd gpus. I don't know where to start on this project.
Thank you in advance for the recommendation.
