Squishy: Media Transcoding Made Simple

Welcome to the Squishy wiki! This is your comprehensive guide to using Squishy, a tool designed to make transcoding and downloading your media simple.

What is Squishy?

Digital packrats often have media libraries that are filled with high resolution movies and TV shows. When you are watching on the big screen in your home theater, you want the best possible quality in the form of Bluray rips and remuxes. That quality comes at a cost -- file size. 4K HDR remuxes are generally in the 30-100 GB range.

When traveling, downloading media to your phone with such files results in long downloads and limited storage space. Enter Squishy, which makes transcoding and downloading your media simple by automating the on-demand transcoding process, compressing your large media files to much more reasonable sizes for watching movies and TV shows on smaller devices like phones and tablets.
