Hi fellow sailors,

i have lots of downloaded... ISOs... that i need to converto to save space. I would like to make them all of the same size, let's say 720p, and same format, let's say h265.

I am on linux and the... ISOs... are sorted into a neatly named hierarchy of sub-folderds, which i want to preserve too. What is the best tool (CLI) for the scope? I can use ffmpeg with a bash script, but is there anything better suited?

Alternatively you could look into av1-svt and av1an (!av1@lemmy.ml). But there are far more tools for x265

I need to encode in something future-proof that can be streamed to a fire stick pro max (whatever its called) without further transcoding possibly.

Any suggestion in codecs formats and containing formats?

Not sure why the link doesn't work: https://lemmy.ml/c/av1@lemmy.ml (there is also a second community and a av1 discord server.

Fire stick pro max should support av1 but I have no experience with that.

Av1 is the best compression format but it still requires more work to use it well. The tools for x265 are more mature.
