<p><strong>Background:</strong></p> <p>I am trying to compress lossless bluray tracks to a more storage friendly size without a huge loss in quality.</p> <p><strong>What I've been doing thus far:</strong></p> <p>Exploring compression options with ffmpeg. Mainly around h264 with the -crf argument. </p> <p><strong>Restrictions:</strong></p> <p>Linux and open source tools. Please don't suggest anything Apple/Microsoft specific.</p> <p><strong>Question:</strong></p> <p>Most of the options I see around compression involved bit rates or fixed output sizes. I am looking for a video codec that has more of a "quality threshold". I don't mind if more complex portions of the track require more bytes to deliver the same level of visual quality. Does anything like this exist?</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p> <p>I am having good luck with the -qscale argument and libxvid. If I don't get any other suggestions, I'll just go with that.</p>
