Sorry if this was asnwered before, but couldn't find it. I can't seem to find any groups that usually release really small sized 4k rips like rarbg used to do. Movies went from ~5GB to ~20GB, and I really can't tell that much difference in quality that justifies 4x the size.
Tried some YTS rips, but the quality is WAY worse than RARBGs rips :(
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
It looked way less, I fell in a rabbit hole and I'm now looking at plex in my xbox xD
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.
Thanks, I'll download a sample movie to check the quality of those ~7GB files
You're not the first to comment that, and I'm already considering it.... I have to download some examples
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
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.
