Description of problem or question:
The magic of H265 is awesome. I'm wondering about best practice - I have a bunch of existing DVD transcodes to m4v and the like. Is it better to re-rip the media (MakeMKV->Raw rip), then transcode to H265 or can/ought one transcode to H265 from an existing m4v file? The goal: save hard drive space without sacrificing file quality.
I appreciate your time and expertise!
Thanks!

Go back to your originals if you can.

I'd return to MakeMKV for the original quality.
What settings did you use previously?
If you're wanting to save on File size you can tweak a lot to shrink them down.
