I Freed Up 700GB+ Converting my Videos Using Tdarr

Tdarr is a distributed transcoding system that runs on on Windows, Mac, Linux, Arm, Docker, and even Unraid. It uses a server with one or more nodes to transcode videos into any format you like. Today, we'll set up the Docker and Windows version of Tdarr using a GPU to regain up to 50% of your disk space back. I converted my video collection using Tdarr to h265 and saved over 700 GB of disk space. Video Notes: https://technotim.live/posts/tadarr-server/ A HUGE THANKS to our sponsor, Micro Center!
