![]() ![]() To somewhat mirror the above, I'd suggest making sure that every decision you make in this process is duely considered and intentional. Honestly i have no idea, so you would suggest going to mp4? so you could end up converting a 1 GB 720p video to a 500 MB AVI file in 720x480 resolution. If you didn't even check the conversion settings in that software, for all I know the software default to DVD resolution and quality for example, you just don't know. maybe convert 5.1 sound to stereo and so on. you can be fairly sure FLAC, Opus, AAC (M4A), AC3 files will be supported.ĭon't touch the other files unless the file size is too big, and you want the video files to use less disk space, in which case you may want to tell the converter to resize 1080p content to 720p, to use certain quality settings during compression, to use up to this much MB of disk space per minute of recording and so on. You can be fairly sure whatever software the NAS will have will support MP4 and MKV files, so you'd only want to convert other contains like AVI for example. Why do you assume the NAS you'd have would not support your current files? You have no idea what that NAS will support or not. I was going through a bunch of video files on my computer that i have had for years (back when i had my i5 4670) and i did want to convert all of them to the one format so when the day come that i finally got a nas i could move them all across and i would know they are supported. If your videos already have the audio encoded in AAC or AC3 you shouldn't recompress the audio part.Īs for the video part, it makes sense to recompress it only if you specify some good quality settings to the encoder. ![]() If you want to standardize on something, standardize on H264 or HEVC video codec for the video part and for audio, use FLAC (lossless), AAC (for highest compatibility with MP4 playing devices) or Opus (higher quality than AAC) or in worst case scenario AC3 (standard codec in DVDs so it will supported by loads of players, tvs etc for pretty much eternity. ![]() even the stupidest TVs can play MP4 files and most software that does live streaming of movies to TVs or devices can super easily parse a MKV file and convert it in real time (without recompressing video or audio) to MP4 if a device can't decode MP4. You DO NOT want to use AVI as a container if you want most compatibility for the future with a NAS and various playback devices and all that. Why on earth would you use the ancient and obsolete AVI? Please stop converting your media to that.ĪVI is a container, like MP4 or MKV, doesn't say anything about the video and audio codec used inside, but usually AVI has really poor compatibility with modern video codecs like H264 and HEVC. ![]()
