Storage space and new codecs: So much collected as h265. (links.hackliberty.org)

I've amassed a sizeable hoard, nearly all encoded h264 or h265.

The space savings made by AV1 are attractive, but I don't want to move on it until after I've acquired hardware capable of AV1 GPU accelerated decode.

Even then, the cost of reacquiring some works has to be weighed. Storage space gets freed; but how often do I actually revisit some cherished items?

Anybody else having to make similar evaluations?

I assumed the context here was torrenting rather than streaming, download blu-ray remuxes and encode to your liking.

Streaming sites are the source of the TV torrents until the season is over and the bluray is released.

True, but OP refers to 'some cherished items'
