Handbrake lets you mess aronud easily with the slider for Quality in the video tab. If you hover the mouse there, it even reminds you which is bigger/better. Make sure it's using the 265 codec, not 264 – hugely smaller files (something close to half the size). You can also use the Preview (top right, Video tab) to get a sense of how far to push it. I did loads of encoding on my 2010 mac pro thinking it was fast back in the day. I did a test run with my M1 Mac mini 2020 and it was about four times faster lol.
