FFMPEG video encoding to save GB of data - which encoding is the best?

FFMPEG video encoding to save GB of data - which encoding is the best?

FFMPEG video encoding

I was back-up’ing my system and I reviewed everything after the stupid debian bug I’ve encountered.
I noticed that I had some 37 GB of video’s from the 2nd semester of the CCCP study.
For 50 minutes of lecutre I had around 900 MB.
For a resolution of 1280x720 at 30 frames per second with 24bit color quality per pixel you would get a 30 GB file without any compression.
So clearly this is a 30:1 win and even the 900MB is a great compression if you stop to think about it since it was already compressed with the H264 codec.
I started to look around and test things with libtheora and ffmpeg I eventually got a 401 MB file.
For a aproximate bitrate of 1024K/s for the video the file size was roughly half. One problem I encountered with the libtheora was that it could not use all cores, which made it VERY SLOW.
Ok, i could convert all my videos at once, but that’s pretty lousy. Not to mention the quality was reduced so theora wasn’t an option.
