About the same here, minus the music videos (only a few dozen there for the kids), plus a fitness library, so I'd say it evens out to roughly equal.
Mostly HEVC but I still have some h.264 floating around that I have no interest in reencoding.
No AV1 at all until I get a new Intel GPU or newer Intel CPU to handle transcoding it nicely.
There's some relatively inexpensive NVIDIA cards now with AV1 hardware encoding. I'm on my third round of re-encoding my whole library (HEVC, then VP9, now AV1). For 1080p NTSC, I get about 13x speeds on NVENC AV1, whereas with VP9 I was CPU-bound at around 4x. Definitely worth the upgrade, in case you're on the fence.
You do realize that you lose quality with wach encode, right?
It's not AS bad when bitrates are high, but it's still there.
True.
When I migrated off of Jellyfin, I re-encoded everything up to that point directly from the Blu-ray rips wherever possible. Because I'd already started culling those for space, I did end up just doing another pass on the first round of encoding for a portion of the library. There's some noticable degradation on those, and I'll want to re-rip those at some point.
Fortunately, I've got my process pretty dialed in for ripping and I actually enjoy it, so if I ever have a quality issue, it's not a huge ordeal to re-rip and encode.
Yeah I just dont have a need with no devices to handle it natively, while the rest of my library can be. Building a new htpc media player for the living room next, new server after that.
New because I'm using a lenovo tiny as the server, which means either I build a new box completely, or I find the right used workststion tiny/mini/micro that can handle av1. Complete build will do a lot more (well, the t/m/m does too, but not to the extent my big box builds are set up for).
So what card are you using?
I went with a GeForce RTX 4060. Cost was about $300.
Cool, thanks!
