Hi fellow sailors,

i have lots of downloaded… ISOs… that i need to converto to save space. I would like to make them all of the same size, let’s say 720p, and same format, let’s say h265.

I am on linux and the… ISOs… are sorted into a neatly named hierarchy of sub-folderds, which i want to preserve too. What is the best tool (CLI) for the scope? I can use ffmpeg with a bash script, but is there anything better suited?

    Agreed. Just download the copies you want in 5 minutes rather than spending 45 minutes encoding each video or buy another HDD for more space.

      My internet speed doesn’t allow for this unfortunately. On Usenet I can reach 1mb/sec when lucky. And 6Tb of stuff takes time to find and download again.
