Hi all,
Thank you for all your help and advice. I received my Mac mini a few days ago and I am very much enjoying the hassle-free set up of Jellyfin and a computer doing Handbrake with significantly less power and noise. A good little device for this task. In the end I did keep it at base spec except the 10gbit Network upgrade for potential future network infrastructure changes (my ethernet is already 2.5Gbps capable)
Fortunately all of my video media is a mix of AVC and HEVC 10-bit but will start messing about with AV1 once compatibility is there. I think I am also in a position where most of my clients are capable of direct play also with these files.
