Not always at a great bitrate though.
I haven't really torrented anything in a while but I doubt there are many 20GB+ Blu-ray quality rips out there that you can download in a reasonable amount of time.
EDIT: after reading the replies I stand corrected; it seems like there are some better quality uploads out there than I thought.
- kodt 7y agoThere are plenty, 30-40GB uncompressed BluRay remux rips are very common. Will download in under 15 minutes. You can also find uncompressed 60-70GB UHD rips.
- fredoliveira 7y agoYou'd be very surprised.
- capableweb 7y ago> reasonable amount of time Depends very much on your own bandwidth. For someone with 400Mbps, 20GB+ doesn't take that long time to download in the end, especially popular torrents. But then again, not many have that kind of bandwidth available.
- deno 7y agoAvailability aside (bluray rips are a thing), most people can’t tell the difference between FullHD and 4K at all, at least in moving pictures[1]. I doubt bitrate will make much difference on top of that, as long as you start from some reasonable value. I seriously can’t tell the difference between a very low quality YIFY rip and a proper Bluray. If you freeze frame they both look bad, and when they’re moving they both look great. I’ve done this as an experiment multiple times and it’s like judging wine... There’s a threshold you need to pass but beyond that you quickly run into diminishing returns. [1] BTW most movies are still mastered or partially mastered (SFX) at 1080p still, and even if they’re true 4K you get high quality downscale to 1080p for free. But really most 4K movies are still upscaled from 1080p.
- Bnshsysjab 7y agoI’d rather see 60-144hz before any increases in resolution above 1080p and maybeeee 4K. I think lower quality rips show themselves a bit more on high quality playback devices, but I generally don’t hit low quality releases purely for Snob factors so I could be wrong.
- dylz 7y agoAre movies actually made in 144 FPS?
- kodt 7y agoNot that I'm aware of. The only high FPS movie I know of is Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk by Ang Lee, it is shot at 120fps. The Hobbit is shot at 48fps.
- Bnshsysjab 7y agoNo, and that’s my point. 144hz is probably overkill, but 60hz is a noticeable difference.
- gowld 7y agoMovies look like garbage in >30fps. That's why moviemakers beg audiences not to do frame interpolation.
- Bnshsysjab 7y agoInterpolation and frame rate are two different things. Care to give an argument more than ‘looks garbage’? I think people reported that the hobbit looked weird, but that’s likely because were used to 30fps in a subconscious level.
- tripzilch 7y agoI don't know how much films you watch, but the only thing I'm used to on a subconscious level is what the world looks like IRL.
- kingo55 7y agoUsing Sonarr you can specify minimum bitrates to download. It fetches content automatically in the background for you.
- wccrawford 7y agoYou can specify, but you can't guarantee that what you want is out there at that bitrate.
- MiroF 7y agoVery common.
- Lammy 7y agoAt least it will be the same bitrate every time :) The keyword you should be searching for is "remux", as in identical video/audio streams to a BD but in a new container (probably MKV).
