I am not looking to adjust quality of the video or audio just change the codec. I am not necessarily converting ONLY from h264 my media consumption goes back many years and as such is a huge mixed bag of codecs. My videos are not coming exclusively from streaming services.
Some of it is likely still quite findable and assuming quite a few titles are many seasons of 1 show: use your known channels and redownload in more recent repacks would be the easiest, least hassle least risk of quality loss. Use Sonarr and/or jellyfin exports to identify shows with high GB per minute of runtime...
