High constant bitrate content, like 128mbps for video and ~10mbps for audio is possible for free? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So, I have pretty much downloaded all type of content and never actually saw something of this quality, even on pirated sites, they claim huge numbers, but the quality is average only, especially on a big T.V. What do you think, help your fellow pirate.

I have ripped my Planet Earth III UHD Blu Ray in lossless and I think that's around 75-80MBS combined audio/video in h.265 format. It looks amazing in HDR on my 85" miniLED TV.

Understand this codec saves you close to 40% bitrate over h.264. So when you're talking high bit rate content, what's are you watching? Most 4K stuff is going to be h.265 but many sites I've seen still use h.264 or a mix... I've eventually wanted to reencode stuff to AV1, h.266, or similar, but until there's more widespread adoption, it's not viable.

Thanks for providing a clear assessment of whats possible, but damn I never knew h.266, also exist, you learn new things every day, thanks for that, and I watch mostly films and webseries, but never got actual good quality on free websites compared to netflix, apple tv etc, so was just hoping that there must exist something, which I am unaware of.
