[Request] Any Guides to FFMPEG, Transcoding, Codecs, and Metadata? (leminal.space)

I have a collection of about ~110 4K Blu-Ray movies that I've ripped and I want to take the time to compress and store them for use on a future Jellyfin server.

I know some very basics about ffmpeg and general codec information, but I have a very specific set of goals in mind I'm hoping someone could point me in the right direction with:

  1. Smaller file size (obviously)
  2. Image quality good enough that I cannot spot the difference, even on a high-end TV or projector
  3. Preserved audio
  4. Preserved HDR metadata

In a perfect world, I would love to be able to convert the proprietary HDR into an open standard, and the Dolby Atmos audio into an open standard, but a good compromise is this.

Assuming that I have the hardware necessary to do the initial encoding, and my server will be powerful enough for transcoding in that format, any tips or pointers?

Since you're talking about anime, how did you solve the subtitles problem? My pi doesn't transcode fast enough but I haven't found a tdarr extension to do that automatically (nor a command)

I'm sorry my subtitles worked fine from the beginning so I don't know what to tell you. I've got a pi4 running osmc as my media center if that makes any difference.
