Hello, the title says it all. I have a recording that's 8 GB in size with only an hour of footage, the size is filling up my 1 TB HDD very fast and I need help how to compress the recorded footage so I can free up some space in my hdd.
I use handbrake and I've tested it to encode 4k 2 minutes footage with several settings
(My specs): Core i3 10100, 8 GB 2666 MHz Dual Channel, GTX 1650 DDR6 4 GB.
The settings that I've tried are:
1. H.264 FPS: Same as source RF 24 Fast Encode Fast Decode: On
2. H.265 FPS: Same as source RF 24 Fast Encode
3. H.265 10-bit FPS: Same as source RF 24 Fast Encode
4. H.264 Nvenc FPS: Same as source RF 24 Fast Encode
5. H.265 Nvenc FPS: Same as source RF 24 Fast Encode
And from all the testings I see no quality degradation. The H.265 10-bit's settings gives the least file size but it took 30 minutes to encode a 2 minute 4k video. The normal H.265 gives 10-20% bigger file size than H.265 10-bit and it took 25% less time than H.265 10-bit. Lastly, the H.264 gives 20-45% bigger file size than H.265 10-bit and up to 50% less time than H.265 10-bit.
Both the Nvencs settings are faster than even the H.264 one but gives around 200-300% file size increase.
I would love to hear what you guys think, what I should change and what would be the best setting between those 5.
TL;DR
I use handbreak and I've tested it with 4k 2 minute videos with several settings. The best one is H.265 10-bit but consumes so much time, The fastest are the Nvencs ones but they make the file size even bigger than the original file size. I need to find a balance between small file size and fast encoding time. I can't wait to hear your recommendation
