After downloading lots of movies and series my HDDs are getting a bit full so I was wondering if there was a program that encodes or renders or whatever the video files to decrease the size without compromising on the quality, alot
>>57675754
ffmpeg
>>57675843
Is there a guide on how to use it? I'm kinda lost

Write an algorithm that will reorder all the frames in all the films into a single file in an order such that the number of pixels that change between frames is minimal (approaches zero delta-change between frames). Then you just have to write your own read function that will playback all the frames in correct order for a specific film. Something like a number at the end of each frame to tell the reader which frame comes next.
Buffer time would likely be quite large as it repeatedly rereads the file to put enough frames in order to playback at native fps, but on the plus side you made a ridiculous video compression algorithm that probably doesn't even reduce the file size at all that would still look good on a resume anyway.

Do I care about the resume? I just want to free some space on my computer
convert everything you have to 480p and use mpv (with opengl-hq) to watch it back kinda almost as good as it was in the first place.

Everyone here is wrong, encode all your shit in h.265.

>>57675754
i bet you downloaded yify and trying to make it even worse.

Are you willing to download the bdmv, apply removegrain and use x264 10bit at very slow settings and deal with 2fps speed? Fuck Off cunt
>>57679261
IAm willing to Fuck you in the ass if it will make you less stupid
>>57679230
No sir im just trying to save space by compressing video files not movies only, plus yify is shitty I dont use his uploads
>>57675754

>>57679737
tfw havent compiled my own for windows yet either and am stuck with shitty aac.

I basically want a 64-bit ffmpeg that can do 10-bit x265/vp9 + vorbis/opus.
I spent a while fucking with mingw and cygwin environments before giving up due to random errors that I couldn't find other people running into.
I'll probably just fire up a vps and cross-compile it from linux, or maybe I'll give the latest visual studio a go.
I'm currently converting almost 2tb of porn with handbrake for this very reason.
Really wish I had a dual 8 core xeon setup right about now.

Can you please tell me the exact settings of audio/video on handbrake? a screenshot for the tabs would be great
>>57681282
There's plenty guides out there, I know because I bothered to read them.
Just play with the RF slider, leave it at variable bitrate and if you're stuck then hover over settings and read the tooltip.
