@ WHY 
9848 So I have hundreds of videos of ~1 minute recorded from my phone ~10 years ago, and they generally don’t have that great compression, nor they are stored in a modern and advanced video format.
For archiving purposes, I want to take advantage of my workstation’s mighty GPU to process them so that the quality is approximately the same, but the file size would be strongly reduced.
Nevertheless, compressing videos is terribly hard, and way more complex than compressing pictures, so I wouldn’t really know how to do this, what format to use, what codec, what bitrate, what parameters to keep an eye on, etc.
I don’t care if the compression takes a lot of time, I just want smaller but good looking videos.
Any tips? (Links to guides and tutorials are ok too)
Also, unfortunately I am forced to use Windows for this (don’t ask me why 
), but I know nothing about Windows because I hate it. Practical software suggestions are very much welcome, too!

do you use .oga as a file extension for Ogg files without video in them?

The Advanced Professional Video (APV) is a new video codec developed by Samsung, designed for professional-grade video recording and post-production, especially on smartphones. It aims to deliver high-quality, perceptually lossless video while using less storage space compared to existing formats.
@ezra personally I think #Apple should be forced.to implement #AV1 & #WebM and that @EUCommission could mandate #OpenStandards.
- As for quality, were it not for #patents and espechally #SoftwarePantents, we'd have way better #Codecs, but this way people engineering a #FLOSS #Codec are constantly required to specifically avoid infringement of Patents and other IP by not using anything remotely related to it...
Also if #H265 wasn't #patented and facing #PatentTrolls and #rentseekers we'd see way better quality there as well.
And yes, Apple (#MPEGLA-Member) is at the root of the problem!
The relatively new "Quite OK Audio Format" (QOA) is a lossy audio compression format.
According to Grzegorz Kraszewski, this could also be a good alternative for the Amiga in terms of computing effort, quality and file size. He has implemented a decoder in M68k assembler and written a tool that converts QOA files into uncompressed AIFF:
Updated numbers for Eve-AV1 & Eve-VP9 are public! The last time they were updated was around 2019, so this should give a more relevant look at how they perform. It takes a lot to improve a mature video encoder, and I'm very impressed with the Eve lineup. I may be biased, though.

I love that there's a database of Irish history/culture texts called “CELT” (“Corpus of Electronic Texts”)
I came across this because in the Opus codec, one of the layers is an algorithm with the same acronym (for “Constrained Energy Lapped Transform”)

As a video codec engineer I don't think I'll allow movies I ripped from decades old DVDs to be encoded with MPEG-2. It's not like I am trying to save storage on the NAS. It's a principle thing.
My AMD 7900xtx supports AV1 hardware encoding... It can encode 1000+ frames per second for those 480p movies.
@gutenberg_org @internetarchive is anyone doing anything about the idea of including the codec with the scan for future future generations? I love digital archiving but at the same time there are already videos in my own archive that I can no longer easily decode.
