One important thing Youtube provides is the encoding. It is rather difficult to re-encode large volumes of videos efficiently unless you have a recent, multi-core desktop CPU.
- noodlesUK 4y agoThis is definitely true, but if you have handbrake or similar, the hardware encode/decode in your CPU or GPU is actually pretty fast and good. This can be accessed via VAAPI, VDPAU, QSV and NVENC on linux (depending on your hardware), VideoToolbox on Mac, and also various options on Windows.
