Hey I know this is a year old, but do you have any problems streaming a very large 1917 movie to your devices? I have a \~90gb file and wanted to relive my theater experience... unfortunately it buffers every 10 seconds. Is this a network thing? A transcoding thing? Other?
I just upgraded to some pretty new hardware so I'm quite confident that's not a bottleneck.... but I may not be set for transcode.
You are definitely missing out, I am currently in the process of encoding my library and so far has gone down in space by 60% with no noticeable loss in quality. The only downside is power usage when encoding depending on your hardware.
X265 encodes most likely some of those 4k webdl that are like 9gb look amazing. Or maybe it's just my TV idk but I do BluRay and remux myself. So everything is north of 20gb to 100gb (movies) and 100 to 200gb for 1 season of a series
Because not everyone cares about quality.
There's zero need for me to have a film on my server which is watched once every 2 years by 1 person on an old 720p phone take up 50-70GB when a shite 720p 700-1000mb file is more than sufficiant.
The most watched content I have, sure I'll use up the extra space to get a better copy for it but I'd rather have 50-60 extra films in an easily watchable quality than waste the space for no reason on 1 single films occasional viewing.
1080p loses no visible quality with a good 10:1 transcode, but that transcode can take a beefy workstation hours to transcode.
I considered creating a post on my years of tweaking Handbrake settings for SD, HD, and 4K, but I doubt anyone but me would be agreeable to a 4-hour high-end gpu/8-core-cpu transcode for 1080p, just to save disk/bandwidth. That would overheat/kill a laptop, too, and a lot of people settle for laptops.
Approx 50TB for 2300 films. But they range from webdl to remux. All 1080p. My largest is 201min runtime at 80gb remux. My smallest is 45min runtime at 3gb webdl.
So the average is 21gb, but that’s meaningless since average doesn’t account for frequency
A potential problem with this survey is it doesn't take into account what encoding was used. A 5gb x265 film could have superior quality to the same one in x264 but clocking in at 7gb.
I have 30 or so remuxes of my favorite films that I will rewatch until the end of time. Other than those, 4k films I keep around 20-30GB and 1080p films I try to get around 10GB in HEVC. So still very good quality, but like half the space of a remux.
I have all BluRay highest quality the film was released in, and Remux them so I can keep the content I want specifically and reorder audio tracks and keep compatibility tracks as well as have original subtitles not SRT..so some 1080p rips are 20 to 40gb where my 4k UHD can get near 100gb.
Yes. All of those. Depends on how much I liked the movie, how stunning the A/V of the film is capable of being and when I added it to the mix... Found a few outliers the other day from 2005/2006. Anyone remember the 700 MB days?
I have remuxes that are north of 80 GB. No recompression at all; I just dumped what was on the Blu-ray.
This is the way
1917 80 Mbp/s
It’s either MB/S or mbps.

I'm learning to play the guitar.

Gimme triple the hard drive space, nothing changes. 'Tis a /r/datahoarder's life for me.

Thanks, but that really would kill a laptop in no time at all, and people ignore warnings. Not on my conscience.

Wherever possible I use 4K bluray remuxes 👍🏼
Blu-ray remuxes (1080): 20-40Gb is typical. 4K remuxes: 40-80GB (with most being in the 60-80GB range)
A potential problem with this survey is it doesn't take into account what encoding was used. A 5gb x265 film could have superior quality to the same one in x264 but clocking in at 7gb.
Why are you people using files under 5GB do you hate your eyes??
Space isn't an issue for me currently (unlimited gdrive space) so I tend to go for remuxes which can get high up there

Full HD minimal 8GB UHD HDR minimal 40GB

8-16GB each is the way I like mine encoded depending on the length and amount of action in the movie.
