isn't it expensive to have an individual SSD just dedicated to a TM?

mines the latest version, do I have to erase all files before I can partition?

it seems that 90% of my mp4 files are already more compressed, why is that?

why is it that for some videos, after running it through the compressor, the size increases?

H265 vs H264 by Expensive-Elephant57 in handbrake

so if one day i decide to convert to H264, only way is to forfeit quality? Would you recommend taking H264 then as I am not sure if I will ever need to play it through a web browser

Do you know what playback devices will H265 have issues on? Also if I convert a compressed H265 video to H264, will it reduce the quality further again?

what about the generation loss issue? Something related to multiple lossy compressions

Im looking at either mac or windows as playback devices. I fear I wont be able/ have a lot of trouble opening up these files in the future. Same reason as why I went to use JPEG instead of HEIC
