Techno Tim | I Freed Up 700GB+ Converting my Videos Using Tdarr @TechnoTim | Uploaded April 2022 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Tdarr is a distributed transcoding system that runs on on Windows, Mac, Linux, Arm, Docker, and even Unraid. It uses a server with one or more nodes to transcode videos into any format you like. Today, we'll set up the Docker and Windows version of Tdarr using a GPU to regain up to 50% of your disk space back. I converted my video collection using Tdarr to h265 and saved over 700 GB of disk space.
