do I want to buy a bluray or should I download the 4000000000000gb bluray torrents instead?
>>
If you have a player you want the full disc. Bitrate is king, even over resolution. Reencoding torrents destroy information. Unless it’s a lossless rip
>>
Neither is a good option. Look up nikt0, oft, popcorn on Sanet.st and get a Rapidgator account. Thank me later.

>inb4 paying to pirate

The fuck you on about? Most 1080p YIFI rips are 1.4gb max.

3.2gb if you want 4k from RARBG for example

You want to do what i do. I have been torrenting since the very begining and still do. This is how I discover movies. I have a few tb of music and tv shows, 35mm scans and wrestling.
I also buy blurays. I started a few years ago, really the last time one of my hard drives died (happens eventually). I realized torrent sites were dying off, and while low quality rips are plentyful, remuxes are becoming more rare and with 4k storage starts to get more expensive. One reason I didnt buy blurays before is a fell for the disc rot meme. Once I discovered this was not a real issie for factory pressed discs but only burned discs I started buy blurays.
I have something lile 400 titles. I dont buy everything but I buy the movies I know I want to watch again. When buying new I mostly buy 4k unless the standard blu is better (t2 or aliens for ex). I will buy standard blus used for maybe $2-5 cad from pawn shops or thrift stores. When used I will buy movies I havent seen sometimes or anything I like since its so cheap.
Standard blu ray players are super cheap used. 4k players are expensive new, but I have heard a few stories of people finding them cheap used. An xbox x or ps5 is probably what most people use to play 4k uhds. 4k discs are all region free but standard blu rays are region locked. A ps3 is probably the best region free blu ray player you can get.

This is a joke right? These are not watchable unless you are blind.

>These are not watchable unless you are blind
What's wrong with them? Even BONE has 1080p content under 2gb and they look fine on my TV.
>>
>>216530305
why not just download 700mb axxo rips

I find the Blu-ray players really clunky and I’ve had discs go bad too. The old Oppos are probably the best if you can find one inexpensively
>>
>>216530637
You can just say it's more important to you because you watch all your movies 10 inches away from your computer monitor instead of in a big room with a big tv
>>
>>216530305
yikes
>>
>>216530457
your tv must be tiny

even on a 42inch 1080p (so not need to upscale ) panasonic plasma back in 2010, i wouldnt go lower than 8gb

5gb if its h265 and a good encode, is the absolute minimum
>>
>>216530609
i use a nvidia shield pro which has the best ai upscaling, and still i wont go less than 8gb.

but for my top 100 films i';ll go 20-80gb remuxes
>>
>>216530109
It takes me about 12-15min to download/unpack a 4K Remux. Discs can never beat that kind of convenience.
>>
>>216530609
AI upscaling 1080p to 4k looks WORSE. You are blind.
Jesus christ im tired of retards poluting their ai upscales everywhere. A 1080p remux looks better than any ai upscale.
>>
>>216530109
Always go for a modern reencode with good bitrate, even x264, over a BD. BDs and Remuxs use ancient MPEG-2 encoding that have banding issues despite the giant file size.
