  i am more than well aware of all of this. nothing i said is misinformation

  Literally everything you said previously is misinformation except for Blu-ray being encoded with h.265, and I’ve already explained why.

  So I guess you need another 20 years, sorry.

  no commercial streaming service is offering video at the same quality level as a 4k blu-ray.

  What does that have to do with digital media?

  This is also demonstrably untrue if you take 5 seconds to research self-hosted streaming services.

  few streaming boxes even support dolby vision profile 7, and no commercial streaming service offers it

  Plex on Nvidia Shield. EZPZ.

  there is no magical way to cut your bitrate by 75% using the same compression algorithm without sacrificing quality

  I never said anything in contradiction to this. I don’t know who you’re shadow-boxing.

    OK i see the problem. you’re hung up on the fact that i said “streaming” without specifying commercial streaming services.

    however, my context should have been made clear by the fact that i was talking about ripping blu-rays to my fucking NAS.

      i’m saying “you don’t get the same quality from streaming services as a blu ray”. does that make you happier?

      Yup, words matter. I’m not saying this to be snarky or pedantic, I just don’t want anyone to think that they’re getting something inherently inferior if they want to go digital.

        scroll up. my very first comment in this thread makes it pretty damn clear.

        read the whole context before you go off half-cocked and accuse people of spreading misinformation when they aren’t.
