Still need to experiment with some 1080p content but I'm expecting it to work well.Īlso need to experiment with some older shows/movies, I have heard that h265 isn't great film grain. I will probably convert most the anime I have. Any shows I have in 720p are shows where I already decided they didn't need to be in top visual quality.Īnime I heard works very well in h265, I tested this with a high quality 1080p of Spirited Away and it reduced file size by 65% and still looks great. In the opening it has bright white text moving across a grainy background and the h265 encode added some blurring around the letters, but in the actual show I couldn't tell the difference just switching back and forth between them. Southland was a show with the 60% file size reduction so I took a closer look at that. File size reduction can vary a lot depending on the source file, have seen 25%-60% reduction. With NVENC I can still use my PC totally normally, even gaming.

NVENC can do 2 encodes at once, each ~45minute episode takes about 10-15 minutes so I can transcode 10 episodes/hr. Specifically I'm converting procedural type shows with lots of seasons/episodes. I wish it was designed so I could set quality profiles on a per show basis rather than per library.įor 720p I have heard the efficiency for h265 isn't huge, but it's what I am starting out with. The mechanics of the program is already quite impressive, the UI is a bit rough. Using the 'Tdarr_Plugin_d5d3_iiDrakeii_FFMPEG_NVENC_Tiered_MKV Tiered FFMPEG NVENC settings depending on resolution' plugin and haven't manually adjusted anything in it. I setup my gaming PC as a node so it can do NVENC transcoding with my 3080. I very recently started experimenting with tdarr, it's pretty cool but I don't think I am going to give it access to my library directly which is how it is intended.

Keep an adversary in the dark about what you're capable of, and he has to assume the worst.
