We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Hi there,

I am looking to take some video files that I have and looking to compress them down. Currently the files are MKV's that are slightly larger then I'd like. Does anyone have any programs that they would recommend using that compresses files quickly? I have used movaivi to compress and it works well but its slow and some times freezes up when adding more then 10 files.

Thank you for the help.

it would be faster to download them in a lower quality rip. or just buy a bigger drive, storage is cheap, your time is invaluable
