I tried various video settings and compared again.įor the impatient here is what I came up with finally after playing around a while with various FFmpeg parameters: On the left the original video and on the right the one with the H.265 encoding. So what I did to judge about the video quality was comparing two videos side by side with mpv. That said I’m by no means a video encoding expert and my main focus just was to keep the same “visual” quality when converting from the MPEG-2 streams in H.264 to H.265 and reduce the size of the original recording by about 50%+. Without expecting to much I played around a bit and the outcome was surprisingly good - and with way less power needed! So I knew that my AMD RX 5700XT GPU supports H.265 hardware encoding. This works quite well but uses quite some power. First I used my CPU AMD 3900X for this task. And of course it should be fast and maybe even power efficient. I was wondering how to shrink these kind of videos without lowering the “visual” quality too much. This is quite a lot if you want to archive your videos. So for an hour of video it could take easily around 6 GByte on disk. Most public TV channels (via satellite) in Germany that I’m interested in are using MPEG-2 streams with H.264 encoding with a bitrate of about 10000-16000 kb/s.
