What video file sizes do you guys download and why? I don’t know about sizes, but I stick to 1080p remuxes, because I have brain damage that makes my anus itch just by knowing if and when the video has been re-encoded to save space. Also the blacks. :) And what is the correlation between video size and quality? The only correlation might be the size to objective quality, which isn’t what you as a consumer is after anyway, unless you’re a data hoarder or the likes. You’re after the subjective quality: See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_quality Who are y’alls downloading 20+GB movies? Are you storing all that or are you downmixing? Are you stealing your harddrives out of the recycle bin? Nope, I’m just lucky to have an extremely narrow field of interest (no, it’s not *Human Centipede). I’m financially hard locked to the 15TB that I spent four years aggregating before LLM data centers fcked us.

  • Thanks for the wikipedia link. I guess it makes sense that that’s where the information would be. The good news for me is that I download everything on my mobile phone and it kills my battery, so I’m limited to how quickly I can fill up my hard drive. I can probably pull about 5-20G/night. I really wish we still had long-term storage options like Zip drives or cassettes.
