For those of you that torrent video files this question is geared toward you. I’m looking for a sweet spot between quality, size & speed for HEVC encoding. I’m using FastFlix and seem to be getting really wide and varying speeds.
I’m not really literate on all this video lingo but I can, at least, get it going. Most files take anywhere from 5-17 mins for a 30-40 mins clip. I have a AMD Radeon RX 470 graphics card but when I try and use the VCEEnc it won’t let me use CRF which I’ve heard it the best way.
Anyway, if you’re willing to share knowledge or what settings you use when you convert video to HEVC that might help me speed up my processing, I would be eternally grateful.
IDK I’d assume anything uploaded more than 10 years ago needs to be re-encoded (but you should learn more about the old and new encodings before generalizing that blindly).
I’ve also had success removing embedded language audio tracks from a file that had 5+ languages from the original Blu-ray. Each language was over 1GB/per movie for a specific offending collection.
I think that’s part of my problems I have new stuff and stuff waaayyy over 10 years old and I’m trying to find a “sweet spot” for everything and I don’t think that’s possible. Yeah, I know what you mean about the additional language, audio, etc. tracks especially in stuff I get from Nyaa. I tend to batch demux a lot of that out before I even start messing around with re-encoding the file. Thanks for your input!
