Is HEVC (8-bit)/AAC a good, modern CODEC combination for rebuilding & reducing my library size without compromising quality? Helpful feedback would be appreciated.

    if u re getting 3 to 4Gb out of a 40G x264, u re definitely losing a lot of data… With proper settings, It should be around 16 - 18G. AV1 can’t do miracles.

      For sure!

      What I’m talking about is perception of quality. If you know what you’re looking for then you’ll notice some of the artifacts. Especially in the darkest areas and when going from HDR to SDR.

      It still looks better than steaming the same thing off of Netflix, Hulu, etc. So that’s all I need/want.

      I fully realize there’s compromise there and if I want to view it in all its original glory I can bust out the bluray.
