I've got a large collection of video files in various formats and settings. I'm looking for a preset that will retain the current image quality (a lot of them are SD TV shows extracted from VHS and aren't fantastic quality to begin with) while reducing size as much as possible.
I know the .264 encoding can retain similar quality at lower bitrates, but I'm very new to MediaCoder. I've had some success setting a lower bitrate, but as the files are different formats and different encoding settings, I'll occasionally end up with a larger file than I started with.
Is there a setting that tells mediacoder the equivalent of "shrink this as much as possible"?
