+# Netflix-Style AV1 Optimization Tool
+
+This script automates the process of converting your video library to highly compressed AV1 while maintaining a guaranteed quality level (VMAF).
+
+## Requirements (Install on your Minisforum MS01)
+
+1. **FFmpeg**: Must be installed and accessible in your PATH.
+   - Windows: `winget install ffmpeg`
+   - Linux: `sudo apt install ffmpeg` (Ensure it's a recent version usually 5.0+)
+
+2. **ab-av1**: The magic tool that calculates VMAF scores.
+   - Requires Rust. 
+   - Linux/Mac: `curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh` then `cargo install ab-av1`
+   - Windows: Download binary from https://github.com/alexheretic/ab-av1/releases or use cargo.
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Open a terminal.
+2. Run the script pointing to your library folder:
+
+   ```bash
+   python3 optimize_library.py "C:\Path\To\Movies"
+   ```
+
+   or on Linux:
+   
+   ```bash
+   python3 optimize_library.py /mnt/media/Movies
+   ```
+
+## Options
+
+- `--vmaf 95`: (Default) "Visually Lossless" target. Matches original source indistinguishably.
+- `--vmaf 93`: Good for saving more space while keeping high quality.
+- `--preset 6`: (Default) Best balance of speed/quality. Use 4 for archival (slower), 8 for speed.
+
+## Hardware Note
+
+This script is designed to run on your **i9-12900H (MS01)**.
+- It uses the CPU (SVT-AV1) which is extremely efficient on the 12900H.
+- It is faster to encode locally than to upload/download 50GB files on a 30Mbps connection.
+
+## How it works
+
+1. It scans your folders for videos.
+2. It takes a small sample of each video.
+3. It tries different compression levels (CRF) to find the highest number (smallest size) that hits VMAF 95.
+4. It encodes the full file using that perfect setting.
+5. Audio and Subtitles are COPIED (preserved) to ensure no loss of surround sound/metadata.
