[Request] Any Guides to FFMPEG, Transcoding, Codecs, and Metadata? (leminal.space)

I have a collection of about ~110 4K Blu-Ray movies that I've ripped and I want to take the time to compress and store them for use on a future Jellyfin server.

I know some very basics about ffmpeg and general codec information, but I have a very specific set of goals in mind I'm hoping someone could point me in the right direction with:

  1. Smaller file size (obviously)
  2. Image quality good enough that I cannot spot the difference, even on a high-end TV or projector
  3. Preserved audio
  4. Preserved HDR metadata

In a perfect world, I would love to be able to convert the proprietary HDR into an open standard, and the Dolby Atmos audio into an open standard, but a good compromise is this.

Assuming that I have the hardware necessary to do the initial encoding, and my server will be powerful enough for transcoding in that format, any tips or pointers?

How many of those are you streaming video to, though?

Intel iGPUs have supported H265 since 7th gen, which is 8 years old now (released in 2016). Nvidia added support the same year, starting with the GTX1050. Even the Raspberry Pi 4 supports hardware-accelerated H265.
