There are also multiple other threads that discuss "current" best methods, though some are 2 years old. It may be best to start a new thread, as things have changed, and it would be easier for other users to find to discuss. I'll be honest, I don't even know what's good to use these days either, and could do with some help also! All these new commands and switches to increase quality or speed it up might as well be ancient Greek at this point.
On a side note, 8 hours is pretty fast. If you just want to get faster, grab a 3900x as it's almost twice as fast as your chip. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/a...-3700x/13.html (also uses less power) |
Thanks so much for your input! I think for now it is probably best for me to just use something like MakeMKV and leave the files in their native form without any additional compression. I don't think the time it is going to take is worth the quality I lose and I do have the money and hard drive space on my NAS to be able to do everything uncompressed . Thank you for replying though and I agree that there should be more threads discussing the various different script that can speed up encodes and increase the quality.
