Storage space and new codecs: So much collected as h265. (links.hackliberty.org)

I've amassed a sizeable hoard, nearly all encoded h264 or h265.

The space savings made by AV1 are attractive, but I don't want to move on it until after I've acquired hardware capable of AV1 GPU accelerated decode.

Even then, the cost of reacquiring some works has to be weighed. Storage space gets freed; but how often do I actually revisit some cherished items?

Anybody else having to make similar evaluations?

No, because i did it over long time since I encoded only during the day hours and a few episodes at a time.

I can say that I fit a good 30% more episodes in the same space, but at the same time I also have added movies and reduces sizes too, so hard to tell reasonably.

I can say that all my collection was mostly h264 before.
