Only to lossy formats. FLACs are lossless, but well compressed. If transcoded losslessly to some other format like OptimFROG, you won't get much benefit, but decompression speed will suffer a lot.

You can do a bit more if you absolutely MUST

Use Bink2 encoder, to lower 720p the videos,
Use higher and single thread lolz to squeeze a few more MB
Enjoy

Does this rep before srep improves the ratio or speed in any case? How much dictionary is used here by default?
