Yeah it's fine I reencoded almost my entire library into that as soon as my devices were able to play it.
But if you can wait a couple more years AV1 will be better
If they can wait a couple more years I'm sure that in that time they'll save up enough money to get a new HDD/SSD so there's no need to reencode
But if they expand their storage in the meantime then re-encode later, they'll have even more space freed up. Something about stonks, I guess 🤷🏻♂️
It just might not be worth the quality loss. Though if space is tight then it's tight
Some people priortise library quantity over image quality and with the standard living room setup of ~50" and 8-10' gap between screen and sofa, a small decrease in quality would be negligible anyway.
