Hello! Thank you for any advice in advance. I am kind of new at this, I have a decent sized collection running on a 3 disk ZFS array which is a few gigs away from running out of space. Majority of my collection is TV Shows in 720p and 1080p x264 files I obtained through totally legal sources. I want to eventually expand my storage but currently that would mean buying a new cabinet, motherboard on top of the 2-3 new hard disks I'd need.
Now because of the variances in these files' sources, they vary per-episode quite a bit but quite a sizeable few of them are in the 3.5-5GB per episode range. I can start by converting the largest shows to x265. I am experimenting with an episode of Criminal Minds and a CFR of 23 under fast x265 preset took a 4.7GB episode down to 600MB, quality seems rather okay.
My clients are Xbox One, MacBook Pro, iPhone X, Chromecast 2, Android devices (LG G4 running a Nougat ROM primarily). I think majority of them can do HEVC playback and my server can (probably) handle transcoding one of them.
I know transcoding a rip is a sin, but a CFR of 23 seems to be giving decent quality. Anyone has any feedback?
