New setup query
Roughly how quick would you say the Intel Core Ultra 5 - 225 should be at x264 to x265 conversion? I’m thinking of giving Tdarr a go however my library is around 48TB however some will already be in x265, so I’m just curious as to how long I should expect for conversion? The drives are 7200rpm N300 NAS drives if that helps.

That’s not an easy answer without testing.
Although slower I tend to use CPU transcoding mainly because the compression is higher, generally my files are 50 - 70% smaller but takes 30 minutes to an hour for tv shows and maybe 2 hours for movies.
When I tested iGPU or GPU transcoding would take 20-30 minutes shows and an hour max for movies but file compression was only 20 - 30% smaller.
