I mean, the RAW 4k (or 6k or 8k) footage is typically multiple terabytes (almost 15 TB for 2 hours at 8k). That is then compressed down to under a Terabyte for use in the movie theater (typically 200-800GB depending on features and length), and then compressed further to get it onto 100 GB disc. It's important to remember that length is going to play a big part (there is a reason that Snyders Justice League is on 2 discs) and a consistent quality is going to be desired within a catalog.
- nebula8804 5y agoYeah it seems like they are not doing their due diligence in terms of codec and compression strategies being used. Obviously we are not going to get uncompressed data(although that would be a dream one day that would probably never happen as resolution will increase with new storage capacities) but I do wonder if they can choose different compression strategies depending on the film. It they are charging premium prices I feel as if it is their responsibility to put in the effort to deliver the best experience that the format is capable of delivering. Otherwise what "value add" is the publisher actually delivering?
