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.

Cheers,

Jason
