Hello! I recently listened to a podcast that talked about how storing media files in .av1 format is very efficient and storage-friendly. I’ve been storing my files in .mkv format, but now I’m considering using Handbrake or a similar service to convert all my video files to .av1 if it’s more compressed than .mkv. So;

  • What format do you store your media?
  • What is the optimal way of storing media?
  • Do you use handbrake or similar services (feel free to suggest) to convert media files?

    As an experiment, take any remux from your collection and encode it by dividing the raw video bitrate by 2.5

    What you’ll invariably find:

    • Perceptible quality degradation at 100 per cent scale: 0%
    • " @ 200 per cent scale: <1%
    • Space saving: >50%
