Hello! I recently listened to a podcast that talked about how storing media files in .av1 format is very efficient and storage-friendly. I’ve been storing my files in .mkv format, but now I’m considering using Handbrake or a similar service to convert all my video files to .av1 if it’s more compressed than .mkv. So;

  • What format do you store your media?
  • What is the optimal way of storing media?
  • Do you use handbrake or similar services (feel free to suggest) to convert media files?

    But one bit flip and you can trash the whole iso. Which is why i don’t even pdf my scans but keep them as png.

      If you’re not storing on a filesystem that calculates and checks erasure codes then you can always generate PAR2 files yourself.
