No, I wanted to make a different point: that uncompressed video would be unreasonably huge. Nobody uses it. Regardless of the resolution, a good compressed video looks basically the same but it is hundreds of times smaller.

You should ask for less compressed video. Uncompressed is just not worth it.

That would be… (checks math)… about 5.972 Gbps of bandwidth, assuming just non-HDR content and 30 fps. Probably impossible for most people.

Less compression could make sense, but literally no compression would be a colossal waste of bandwidth and storage.

Not sure why aliens would evolve to see like that. Their vision would be extremely blurry, the smallest detail they could resolve would be about the same size as the wavelenght (meters to kilometers).
