I know I struggled on getting a good command to “simply” make the videos from my Z8 smaller (in file size).

Usually the color was wrong and I don’t care enough to learn about colorspaces to figure out how to fix it and it’s utterly insane how difficult it is even with LLMs.

Just reencode it as is but a little more lossy. Is that so hard?

Handbrake may be a better option for you. I find that for some tasks it’s not only simpler but straight up works better than FFmpeg.
