Is HEVC (8-bit)/AAC a good, modern CODEC combination for reducing library size without compromising quality? I’m about to start a library re-encode and wanted some feedback.

For sure!
What I’m talking about is perception of quality. If you know what you’re looking for then you’ll notice some of the artifacts. Especially in the darkest areas and when going from HDR to SDR.
It still looks better than steaming the same thing off of Netflix, Hulu, etc. So that’s all I need/want.
I fully realize there’s compromise there and if I want to view it in all its original glory I can bust out the bluray.
