no it isn't.
He means a 4k reel of just darkness. Could probably do it at a few hundred FPS and still have some bandwidth to spare.
I'll second this. 4k at 25 mbps might be OK for a sitcom or drama without much action or on-screen movement. But as soon as there's any action, it's gonna be a pixelated mess. 25 mbps is kinda the sweet spot for full fidelity 1080p, and I'd much rather watch that than "4K".
The benefit of the 4k is that you get HDR. On a good TV, that's far more noticable than the resolution improvement and certainly worth it.
But then you're looking at 60-100 Mbps bit rate for good quality (50-80 GB file size for most movies).
