Hi fellow sailors,

i have lots of downloaded... ISOs... that i need to converto to save space. I would like to make them all of the same size, let's say 720p, and same format, let's say h265.

I am on linux and the... ISOs... are sorted into a neatly named hierarchy of sub-folderds, which i want to preserve too. What is the best tool (CLI) for the scope? I can use ffmpeg with a bash script, but is there anything better suited?

Great point about paid plans. I didn't look closely at the project today - they didn't have any paid plans when I was first trying it in 2020 (and ultimately decided downloading the preferred source was good enough and abandoned trans-coding).

This is a more script based solution I've tried in the past for ongoing ISOs with decent results. Good luck!
