[citation][nom]dudemcduderson[/nom]I just looked it up, for uncompressed 4k video at 8bit color depth and 30fps you are looking at 2.69TB per hour and 44GB per minute, although I have no idea what/if 3D adds anything to it. That being said Sony needs to say screw the 100GB Blu-ray tech and start looking more toward 10TB lol.[/citation]... or compress it? i mean lets be honest here, how many of us can see a difference between uncompressed and slight compression? i recently did 10 seconds of uncompressed 1280x720 at 30fps just to see what it would be, it came out to almost 700mb... 1 hour of that comes to 252gb about. there is no excuse for that kind of file size, when a bluray rip of 720p can look damn good at less than 500mb a half hour
now this is another point to make, some times compression can look immaculate. there is an archer season 1 and 2 rip floating around that is 100mb an episode at 720p... and it was better looking than my previous sd at 400mb encode.
think if it, thats a 720p 21~ minute show, and its compressed to 100mb an episode... correct that, 91mb an episode.
the point im making is that compression isn't an evil in and of itself, most people wont notice the difference between a well compressed video, and an uncompressed video.
