Heh, I just upgraded my NAS to 18TB total storage. Which sounds like a large number but it'd go very fast if I were storing 4k video.
I'm at 60tb and I'm still eyeing up sales on 16tb drives. I've got a media hoarding problem but if the internet goes completely down y'all can come to my place for a movie night.
Count me in, Meats ❤️
Decrease the bit rate to like 200 kbps. Might look a bit blocky though.
Personally I think 1080p is good enough for me, usually.
That's good. It really depends, for me personally.
Usually I get really good shows and movies with a lot of graphical details and special effects or other cool stuff, in 4K. But dramas and shit with just people are fine in 1080p.
Examples: 3 Body Problem, The Mandalorian, 4K. After Life (with Ricky Gervais), or Family Guy or other cartoons, 1080p.
Makes sense. For me it depends on whether I'm going to watch something on a monitor or a TV...a movie I'm planning to watch on my TV I may very well go for the 4k version. But 4k file sizes are high enough that I'll definitely think about whether 1080p is good enough.
Samesies 😊
