where could I get high quality movies, I’d be looking at 4k 60fps but 1080p 60fps is also sweet. I would like a solid copy that I can own not like a youtube movie version where the quality is determined by the internet. Eventhough I have 100Mb up down it doesn’t let me stream with 1080p.
I thought blurays would be okay, but heard they are not that high quality.
BluRay is basically the best you can legally own and the quality can be superb. The bitrate is insane. A 120minute movie of 50GB will be 50000/120/60 = ~70 MBit, and that’s why you can’t stream them
A 1:1 rip of a BR movie will be somewhere between 25 and 100GB, so prepare your wallet for some new harddrives
The legality of ripping and storing a backup is a clusterduck to figure out, so consult a lawyer before attempting.
Yes the speeds are doable but for a service streaming over the internet, any megabit saved is more people/server.
A 1:1 rip refers to a full copy of the bluray without reencoding. You save a bunch of gigabytes by doing a remux, i.e. removing unused audio formats/extra content and FBI warnings.
I could build cat8(40Gbps) ethernet cables from house to house so people could watch the movies over plex with high quality.
If I watch a movie, it damned be pleasing for my eyes or atleast funny enough to look over it but when the quality goes to 480 and less then I’ll rather get the movie of putlockers or so.
