Comment on DVDs are dying right as streaming has made them appealing again
todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 2 months ago4K BluRay discs are compressed with HEVC. There’s no way to get consumer 4K video uncompressed.
Uncompressed 4K@30fps requires A 6000mbps data rate. BluRay caps out at 144mbps.
A 90 minute movie would be 4TB. BluRay caps out at 128GB.

Exactly. And a regular DVD caps at 4.7 GB if I’m not mistaken. Not even close.

That’s just single layer - dual layer is something like 8.4 if memory serves (which it often doesn’t…)

Yep, single-layer.
