Was going through my SSDs and a lot of them have videos that are using H.264 codecs.
This is old, and still used for uploading on YouTube and stuff, but simple for having it for yourself, completely useless unless your computer is too old for H.265.
I managed to save up 50% space by shoving them in davinci resolve and exporting them as H.265 instead with no visible quality loss (obviously when you do this there will be some quality loss cause it's exporting the video again in a lossy format)
Now you need to wonder if it's worth the effort & electricity. For me it was, because I get to not buy any more gear anytime soon. Damn expensive stuff...
Hope it helps someone
