I'm building a 16TB NAS to store all my videos. I plan on updating my collection to all HD and I'm trying to decide the best format to store them in.
I'm thinking the best mix of size/quality would be h264 (MKV container), 1080p, 24fps with either DS 5.1 or DTS 5.1 sound, encoded to around 10-15GB depending on the length of the movie. Some files may end up being larger because of Dolby TrueHD sound I guess.
Anyone agree with this or think I should consider WMV-VC1 instead? Or any other issues with these formats that I haven't considered? Thanks.
