Now you can find the same 4K video from few GBs to a hundred GBs, and I am wondering: where to stop? With music there is a similar phenomenon by which after a certain bitrate it becomes an esoteric art to detect improvements. So, what is your "very good enough" bitrate for 4K videos?

Honestly, for me, remux is the only way to go. Why would you risk downgrading the original quality? Is disk space / bandwidth really an issue in 2023?

Uhh yes? Hard drives are expensive and so is cloud storage

I just stream 100gb remux movies. No cloud or hard drives needs.

In my very humble and personal opinion, theres a finite number of content I will be able to watch in my lifetime.

Like many others I'm pretty sure, I have long gone past this limit, yet my personal collection of 50+mbps remuxes barely go over 6TB. This is hardly bank breaking

How? I have mostly 1080 and 720 collection and have filled 10 TB. Free space is down to 500GB and am budgeting for more drives.

Most aren't even good rips just something I could find.

Granted i haven't more than 40% of it and is purgable if I end up needing space.

I have over 10TBs of movies and TV shows and have watched most of them

It is for me lol

I hope they are 4k remuxes then. 1080p is h264, ancient and useless codec. h265 encodes are identical yet smaller
