Sort my video library, once and for all

[ytddewqf]

Hi, 

 

I currently have several terabytes of movies and TV shows in various formats and quality. I have set both Radarr and Sonarr to start upgrading to the best 4k quality where possible. 

 

What I would like to do is use an "all-in-one" app that will re-encode everything from the current 4k to the best quality whilst reducing file size. I have tried various programs over the years but quickly moved on for one reason or another. I am willing to go back and stick with one though if there is a general consensus for a particular app. 

 

For ref, I'm using Emby, my home unraid server has a i9-10900k with 64gb ram and the whole house is wired up with cat8 ethernet cabling, unfortunately however some files still buffer. 

 

I have a 3060 and a further 12tb drive arriving tomorrow and so I would like to get the ball rolling. 

 

Hopefully I've supplied enough information (I have had a drink though). 

 

Many thanks.

I use HandBrake with a custom preset to convert to x265 MKV file. I then setup a watch folder to any new media gets converted before going to my library. For files you currently have, you can toss them in the watch folder, or manually queue up files to be converted.
