500GB/hour... OUCH! That is too big even for my NAS.

I transcoded the VC-1 file to H265 using CloneBD. It took over 9 hours with a Core i7 3.0 GHz and 16 GB of RAM, so I assume it is a high quality H265 that it produced. I watch the video and it looks good. There are a few scenes where there is a lot of white dust from explosions and I couldn't see any pixilation - i.e. lots of motion without many colors on the screen. So I have a few follow up questions.

If I transcode again using H264 (which is predicted to take only 45 minutes), do I simply get a bigger file because the compression is not as good, or do I get a loss in quality when compared to H265?

Is there a tool other than CloneBD that someone could recommend?
