Wait, journalist, 233 terabyte? Just what in the fuck did his life's work consist of?
raw recorded video
It's simply stupid to not compress to h265 before uploading it.
For people authoring original content who may end up having the only copy of a given piece of news-relevant data in their possession, using a lossy compression method to back it up sort of defeats the purpose. This isn't stashing your old DVD collection, this is trying to back up privileged professional data.

I want to clarify that it supports lossless compression as well.
