5gb for 4k?
That's a hell of a compression algorithm.
They were HEVC iirc, but 5 GB for 1.5 hours will hurt the quality quite a lot.
in terms of quality, not as much as some YTS and other examples I've been seeing lately. RARBG rips were really the sweet spot for me :(
So my best bet for now is to go back to 20GB movies? Well, not that worrysome, there's very few movies coming out lately that I really want to archive
You have everything quality wise on TGx
QxR and TGxGoodies (not sure if I spelled the names correctly) have decent 4ks that clock in at about 7 GB. I personally go for the ~20 GB size files but when I can't find them I'll get the smaller.
Also, supposedly TGxGoodies is a reuploader of stuff from Torrent Galaxy .to.
both QxR and TGx have hevc 4k movies, but sizes go from 5GB to 80GB xD, I believe those bigger ones aren't rips.
But I'm downloading a QxR one with 8GB and the sample looked really good like RARBG ones
I also get these Italian & English ones that clock in at ~20 GB. They are good enough quality but not my first choice. Audio and subtitles stay at English for me because of the Plex settings. Not sure if they start in Italian otherwise.
NAHOMhd and licdom are the uploaders.
How's the sound quality?
for me, very good. very happy with this rip. Movie is the latest top gun. This is the exact same quality I was used to with RARBG 4K rips
ReVyndros too (formerly Vyndros)
Thanks, I'll download a sample movie to check the quality of those ~7GB files
You should read the trash guide.
Don’t bother transcoding 4k
i have a cheap 1650 that can do four 4k transcodes on the fly with no issue. It was a 100$ upgrade. Frankly, this is a bad take. Obviously every situation is different, but unless you have a family of twenty that you're sharing your server with, 4k encoding is incredibly easy to do these days.
The quoted rule seems to come from the Plex.tv. And the forum threat said first four rules are irrelevant these days.
The first 4 ‘rules’ generally are no longer as important as they once were, but may still be a good thing to bear in mind.
And I want OP to know that
shame that most x265 groups microsize the releases or use the x264 as source what results in low quality releases. And the few groups that do use the correct source suffer from it.
Will do after work, thanks for sharing
It looked way less, I fell in a rabbit hole and I'm now looking at plex in my xbox xD
Smallest 4k x265 movie i found in my Mediathek after a short search are from LAMA, they are 5 to 7 Gb I got them on a Indexer that has a really similar name than that movie with the green font and the robots that produce humans for energy while keeping them in a simulated world so that they grow right. I use usenet.
I got there, but never used usenet before, I have some reading and searching to do :P Thanks for sharing
At that size, you're better off watching 1080p or 720p than 4k.
You're not the first to comment that, and I'm already considering it.... I have to download some examples
If size is the concern then you are better off sticking to x265 encodes. Personally I don't go above 1080p and use PSArips most of the time.
try psarips?
And where can we find 2K movies of 20-50GB nowadays?
