AV1 encoding can dramatically reduce your file sizes. In practice, using three Intel ARC GPUs to encode just 10-15% of a large library resulted in roughly 37TB of saved space. For a 300TB collection, this could bring the total size down to around 75-100TB with careful AV1 conversion. AV1 encoding can dramatically reduce your file sizes.
