Internet people say that if you reencode the movies, you will lose information and sacrifice quality. I do not know if it is noticable! It is probably visible on a large screen and definitely not on a small one. Like always: shit in, shit out.

You should always use the best source possible. If you don’t have it, maybe someone who has it should do it and not you. I would wait for this person to do it and redownload it once it is available.

265 is not the future gold standard anymore but av1 is. If you are to do it, go for av1 but make sure all your devices can play it natively.
