I watch a fair amount of series, but I’m not a data hoarder. I see the value in 2GB episodes, but I watch most series on my laptop, my simple 1920x1080 tv or even my phone where that value doesn’t make a difference. If I want to have a theater experience, I’ll go to the theater.
Most of the times I just want to enjoy a good story and relax before I go to bed.
I don’t have infinite storage and I hate when I want to download something new, but Im out of storage, so I have to delete stuff first.
I sort by size, then seeders. I didn’t buy all my hifi tv and surround sound to watch compression in action. I couldn’t imagine those 200 to 300 mb episodes, but to each their own. i usually pull the 3 gb to 4 gb episodes.
A 12tb WD hard drive is like 200$ when they go on sale. That equates to about 0.015$/gb. So that 3 gb show costs all of a nickel to store.
Some of my TV shows are 15gb per episode lol
Now that just sounds like poor compression on the video.
H.265 is my favourite codec on the citadel
Could be, but they look amazing and I’ve got space for it
Stranger things s4e9 4k web dl is 16gb. They are rare, you got a lot of them?
