Going from h264 to h265/hevc can net a 30-50% reduction in size for almost no quality loss. The only trade off is increased cpu usage if the client doesnt have hardware h265 support and the time to do the transcoding.

minus-squareWolfLink@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·11 days agoIt’s more relevant to the previous comment as an example of how we are doing a lot of compression at the filesystem level. The files that are typically largest are already quite thoroughly compressed.
