I've got a hard-drive full of h264/mp4 gopro videos that I want to convert into h265/mp4. On the tests I've run, I can cut the size down to about 25% of the original file sizes with minimal loss of quality.

On my (old) i5 laptop, I use this command:
Code:
ffmpeg -nostdin -n -i input-file.MP4 -c:a copy -c:v libx265 -crf 23 output-file.mp4

Q1: Can I do this on a Minix U9-H?

Q2: Would that be faster than doing it on an i5 laptop?
Q1: Yes if you install ffmpeg (has absolutely nothing to do with kodi)
Q2: Nope - it will be slow as hell
Thanks.

1- Are there other apps/plug-ins/etc that can do the same job?

2- Would any of them be faster on a "64-bit Octa Core Cortex A53 w/ Mali-820MP3 GPU" than an old i5 laptop?
1. there is plenty of encoding software out there, just google (it's nothing to do with Kodi).

2. I doubt it, but trial and error would tell.

3. Hard drive is cheap!
