But the bit rates are insane. If this is the original rip, as long as your encoding settings aren't stupid, the loss in quality would be minimal.Yeah, lossless for both H264 & HEVC is achieved with the CRF set to 0.
I would try re-encoding with sane values. You can play back the final encode(s) to see if you're happy with the outcome. This will probably be the easiest solution unless someone comes and shows how to edit the video's playback resolution without re-encoding.
