Tommi 🤯 @ WHY 📞9848<p>So I have hundreds of videos of ~1 minute recorded from my phone ~10 years ago, and they generally don’t have that great compression, nor they are stored in a modern and advanced video format.</p><p>For archiving purposes, I want to take advantage of my workstation’s mighty GPU to process them so that the <strong>quality is approximately the same</strong>, but the <strong>file size would be strongly reduced</strong>.</p><p>Nevertheless, compressing videos is terribly hard, and way more complex than compressing pictures, so I wouldn’t really know how to do this, what format to use, what codec, what bitrate, what parameters to keep an eye on, etc.</p><p>I don’t care if the compression takes a lot of time, I just want <strong>smaller but good looking videos</strong>.</p><p>Any tips? (Links to guides and tutorials are ok too)</p><p>Also, unfortunately I am forced to use Windows for this (don’t ask me why 🫠), but I know nothing about Windows because I hate it. Practical software suggestions are very much welcome, too!</p><p><a href="https://pan.rent/tags/ffmpeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ffmpeg</span></a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/help" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>help</span></a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/askFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>askFedi</span></a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/codec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>codec</span></a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/AVI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AVI</span></a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/H265" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>H265</span></a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/H264" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>H264</span></a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/movie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>movie</span></a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/video" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>video</span></a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/videoCompression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>videoCompression</span></a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/compression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>compression</span></a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/encoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>encoding</span></a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/HandBrake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HandBrake</span></a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/heif" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>heif</span></a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/heic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>heic</span></a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/avif" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>avif</span></a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/mp4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mp4</span></a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/mkv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mkv</span></a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/Wondows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wondows</span></a></p>

Hannah<p>I am currently making some 8bit inspired music, so I am using a lot of bit crushing.
