Hi everyone

We have ripped quite a few VHS home videos but due to the codec limitations when ripping, the resulting filesizes are very large, VLC shows the below info:

https://preview.redd.it/7vfcy1cxfuaf1.png?width=372&format=png&auto=webp&s=f24c550c500e58f66454aa81891bd96a5bfddfa7

Is there any way to work out (or any rules of thumb) the optimal re-encoding settings to lose the least quality while making a difference to the filesize? I was thinking H.265 but I can see H.266 is also an option.

Advice appreciated :)
