Mkv Cage, my favourite fighter in Mortal Kombat

[-] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org -5 points 3 weeks ago

Ew! 1080p

[-] Mora@pawb.social 17 points 3 weeks ago

But 4k takes so much storage😭

[-] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 4 points 3 weeks ago

Easy, buy more HDDs :D

[-] Mora@pawb.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

I just bought 2x 20 TB Red pros... their at half capacity right now. I do not have that kind of money (or NAS) to do that every month😅

[-] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

Lol, are they mirrored or did you actually pull 20TB in a month?

[-] Mora@pawb.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

Mirrored, but still😅

[-] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah. 4 times the resolution, 10 times the size.

[-] Elkenders@feddit.uk 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, I'm counting on 1080 upscale improving.

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

This is an issue of the past for me since I started using Real Debrid with Kodi and Stremio.

I have a good backup amount in 1080p in Plex (physical and debrid symlinks), but when I want to experience 4K films properly I head up to Stremio or Kodi.

[-] veniasilente@lemm.ee 14 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, that's, like, incredibly wasteful. 720p is fine. ~~Where are the 540p ripcorders at?~~

[-] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 4 points 3 weeks ago

Don't talk to me and my 4K collection ever again!

[-] veniasilente@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

How could I? Even saying "hello world" in your format is like, what, 35 MB?

[-] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, 35MB of glorious sharpness, 50 if its also HDR

[-] RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

You're not going to like this, but I have been encoding my own B-tier collection in 1080p at roughly BluRay quality with HDR & Uncompressed audio. A-Tier movies stay 4K Remux, but the B-squad gets the downgrade (but I'm not willing to give up HDR / Atmos)

[-] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, usually you don't really notice a huge difference betwen FHD and 4K, especially with TV upscaling it anyway

[-] CCMan1701A@startrek.website 2 points 3 weeks ago

I love that we can reencoding the 4k HDR to 1080 while we retain the HDR color information. Looks great to me while saving a ton of space.

I mean, if your monitor or TV is 1080p, why should you waste so much more storage to little-to-no visible improvement?

[-] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

Because you could buy a proper 4K Tv any time now :D

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 week ago

For about € 1600 non-smart or € 900 smart in NL.

Nah, 1080p is good enough, even moreso at a metre or 2 from the screen!
