Honestly, for me, remux is the only way to go. Why would you risk downgrading the original quality? Is disk space / bandwidth really an issue in 2023?
Uhh yes? Hard drives are expensive and so is cloud storage
I just stream 100gb remux movies. No cloud or hard drives needs.
In my very humble and personal opinion, theres a finite number of content I will be able to watch in my lifetime.
Like many others I'm pretty sure, I have long gone past this limit, yet my personal collection of 50+mbps remuxes barely go over 6TB. This is hardly bank breaking
How? I have mostly 1080 and 720 collection and have filled 10 TB. Free space is down to 500GB and am budgeting for more drives.
Most aren't even good rips just something I could find.
Granted i haven't more than 40% of it and is purgable if I end up needing space.
I have over 10TBs of movies and TV shows and have watched most of them
It is for me lol
I hope they are 4k remuxes then. 1080p is h264, ancient and useless codec. h265 encodes are identical yet smaller
