Tommi 🤯<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>

Jason Weatherly<p>Small thing I noticed today: splitting `.mkv` files using `ffmpeg` via the `-ss` and `-t` options works great, but the resulting `.mkv` file contains the wrong number of frames in the metadata. Evidently the total frames from the source file gets written into the metadata instead of the resulting frames post-splitting which is annoying. Not a deal breaker, but kind of annoying...easy to fix with a quick run through `mkvmerge` but still just weird.</p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/matroska" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>matroska</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/ffmpeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ffmpeg</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/splitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>splitting</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/encoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>encoding</span></a></p>
Jason Weatherly<p>For the love of God subtitle folks, if you're making subs you don't actually have to add every font known to humanity. You can just add the ones that you're using in the ASS/SSA file. More specifically, you don't have to add 150 fonts totaling 141MB when you're only using 10-20 across the entire subtitle file.</p><p>If removing the unneeded fonts reduces the overall size of the videos by 1.1GB across 12 episodes then you're doing it wrong.</p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/subtitles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subtitles</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/encoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>encoding</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/fonts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fonts</span></a></p>
Jason Weatherly<p>Time to punish the new servers. Also, muxed the `m2ts` to `mkv` files so there are functional progress bars this time.</p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/ffmpeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ffmpeg</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/encoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>encoding</span></a></p>
