Does anyone know any software to compress videos OR reduce the size while maintaining the original Sharpness - currently I use Format Factory to reduce the size but reduce the Video Sharpness.

So does anyone know any good video compression software?, because I am storing 6tb~6tb500 videos of 2D & 3D HenT, Ugoira live2d, CAV, JAV, Porn :KEK:, contains a lot of videos but don't take advantage of those videos to make money. The reason why it contains so many videos is because you're afraid that if you don't download it, you'll lose that video and feel regretful.

ffmpeg or Brake for GUI, x265 or AV1 codecs are the way to go

I personally use ffmpeg to convert mp4s to the x265 codec, seems to be much more efficient than the x264 virtually all videos come in but may not play properly on as many devices (iirc if you're on Windows you may need to install an add on in the store).

If you're familiar with ffmpeg, here's a simple one line command to convert mp4s into x265 mp4s. Just paste this into a word file and replace the .txt at the end with .bat.

for %%f in (*.mp4) do ffmpeg -i %%f -shortest -vcodec libx265 -crf 25 "%%fx265.mp4"

Stick the .bat file in the same folder as a bunch of videos you want to convert, make sure to rename them so they don't contain spaces or special characters and let it run. The resulting videos will all be renamed with an extra x265.mp4 at the end, ie if the input is named video.mp4 the resulting output will be named video.mp4x264.mp4.

The number after crf (constant rate factor) has to be between 0-51 and denotes quality (higher number = lower average bitrate/quality/file size and lower number = higher average bitrate/quality/file size) and can be changed depending on your needs. From personal experience for animated content, I've found that crf 25 is a nice middle ground that may slightly reduce video quality on larger monitors for a massive reduction in file size. I recommend trying out different values to see what works for you. If you're fine with a somewhat larger file, I notice no difference in quality between original and crf 22 on my 1080p monitor though your mileage may vary. If you need your file to be even smaller, you can try crf 28 though that results in a noticeably impact on quality for a lot of videos. If the original video's quality is poor, the higher you can set the crf without seeing a reduction in quality.

Hello there again
After much consideration, I've upscaled Laomeng's animations despite that has already been done. The difference is I've used a different model compared to bros987, resulting in a less sharp output, but look closer to the original files (just choose what you prefer though)
And another thing that differs is the used Codec. I used x265/HEVC codec which allows video files to maintain the almost exact quality as x264/AVC (which bros987 used) while taking only half the disk's space
I also did not compress the output upscaled files, and that made the bitrate really bloody high, which resulted in 99 videos taking a whopping 75.3GB. So if you wanna compress the files or downscale them, use FFmpeg (it's pretty easy to use, Bing's CoPilot, which is ChatGPT but free so comes with a few drawbacks, can assist you a lot in using FFmpeg) and do that to your preferences

Anyway, here are the links:

Format Factory has H265, but when I reduce the video size, I use the Bitrate to 1600 and clearly see the loss of Clarity, and I tried watching my 2 Bitrate 2000 videos and someone else's Bitrate 2000 video with reduced size. I watched the video and saw that other people's videos were lower than mine but still had the same clarity, while mine had a little less clarity but the capacity was a little higher than other people's videos, I left CRF at default because I thought it wouldn't change the image quality, so I just changed the Bitrate index.

If you don't mind, could you tell the tools and models you used to upscale and interpolate this animation? I'm in the process of rebuilding my setup for upscaling/interpolation and trying to find a balance between quality and speed.

I used Real-Cugan, it is free software, you can get it on Github.
