Is there a way to speed up extraction of 40+gb 4k videos? This is by far the most time consuming part of the process and I was wondering if there was any hardware acceleration or even multi cpu way of speeding this up.

My cpu isn’t the newest, it’s an i7 5820k, overclocked just a bit, but I have a hard time believing that a newer cpu on its own will have more than marginal gains on this front, but I could be way off here.

edit: I just realized my processor came out in 2014. So I'm sure in 10 years we've made some inroads, I thought I bought this guy in 2018.

Your drive speed might be the limiting factor here, not your processor.

Interesting, I'm using a synology NAS in order to store lots of data, it should be relatively speedy but probably not compared to an onboard SSD. My SSD only has about ~100gb of free space so even using it as a temporary download center may not be right, looks like I'm looking into a terabyte nvme. Thanks for the suggestion!

Are you sure network isn’t a bottleneck? Even with a gigabit network, copying 40gb worth of data back and forth can take a while.

Yeah network speed for gigabit is max 125MB/s. Or closer the 115MB/s including network overhead.

Even with 2.5G networking I'm only hitting 250MB/s for my NAS. I've never seen anything close to 300MB/s

To be clear, I'm not saying that I'm sure your bottleneck is the SSD. But it could be either that or the processor.
