So I have hundreds of videos of ~1 minute recorded from my phone ~10 years ago, and they generally don’t have that great compression, nor they are stored in a modern and advanced video format.

For archiving purposes, I want to take advantage of my workstation’s mighty GPU to process them so that the quality is approximately the same, but the file size would be strongly reduced.

Nevertheless, compressing videos is terribly hard, and way more complex than compressing pictures, so I wouldn’t really know how to do this, what format to use, what codec, what bitrate, what parameters to keep an eye on, etc.

I don’t care if the compression takes a lot of time, I just want smaller but good looking videos.

Any tips? (Links to guides and tutorials are ok too)

Also, unfortunately I am forced to use Windows for this (don’t ask me why ), but I know nothing about Windows because I hate it. Practical software suggestions are very much welcome, too!

The Advanced Professional Video (APV) is a new video codec developed by Samsung, designed for professional-grade video recording and post-production, especially on smartphones. It aims to deliver high-quality, perceptually lossless video while using less storage space compared to existing formats.

@ezra personally I think #Apple should be forced.to implement #AV1 & #WebM and that @EUCommission could mandate #OpenStandards.

• As for quality, were it not for #patents and espechally #SoftwarePantents, we'd have way better #Codecs, but this way people engineering a #FLOSS #Codec are constantly required to specifically avoid infringement of Patents and other IP by not using anything remotely related to it...

Also if #H265 wasn't #patented and facing #PatentTrolls and #rentseekers we'd see way better quality there as well.

• Cuz #CCSS & #FLOSS can't share code nor expertise at all.

And yes, Apple (#MPEGLA-Member) is at the root of the problem!

Updated numbers for Eve-AV1 & Eve-VP9 are public! The last time they were updated was around 2019, so this should give a more relevant look at how they perform. It takes a lot to improve a mature video encoder, and I'm very impressed with the Eve lineup. I may be biased, though.

Okay nerds, here’s a shameless selfie of me with Karlheinz Brandenburg (the inventor of the MP3).

You might not know who he is, but he had a profound impact on all our lives.
