Your emby converting tool is a god send and works a treat but the file size gets bigger when I convert a recording it doubles the recording size. If it made the file size smaller would the quality suffer?

It really depends on the input formats vs the output formats. For example hevc can have a smaller file size with the same quality as h264.

So that's why we need to look at a specific example. Thanks.

It's not a big deal by all means it works perfect it does what I need and I'm happy with the outcome whether the file size is bigger or not. Now that you have explained it I understand it so thank you very much.

Emby just keeps getting better and better.
