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 tend to keep my library at 1080p for plex (remote users). Then have a seperate library for 4k films. I then download 4K films only as and when i’ll watch them and purge them when I wont watch again (Can always re-download)
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
I just stream 100gb remux movies. No cloud or hard drives needs.
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
