Blue-ray quality & file sizes

[Tech]

i'm wanting basically the best of what i can get in video. so looking at downloading/restricting my torrents from Scene, or others from rarbg.

However, while video is the main target (typically looking for 8+ gig at minimum for Blueray), Audio is a bit different..

I don't need all the Dolby stuff added as i only will over use a Stereo speaker setup anyway..... so i could shave some file sizes down..

The only question i wish to know is.... How must space does all this audio stuff add up ?  few gigabytes on top ? or only megabytes?

Once i know that, i have have a target set...

I know i will get Dobly audio anyway regardless, i'm just trying to limit how much of it. as the cost of file size, as to me video is more important. And since Stereo is all i am going to be converting it to anyway, there is little reason to download 20+gig file if u have all sorts of audio attached.


I wanna try and stay away from re-muxes, although smaller in size, the video is not always from the source.. I'm looking for a large enough size Blueray , but with the minimum audio tracks.

If you want the best possible video quality, I would suggest you try to get into private trackers as they have the est possible releases. The scene does small shortcuts which result in some loss.

The audio adds up to GB's. I would still download the highest possible release then chop the audio and play around with it to your liking.

Ignore Contrail. IDK what he's talking about.

Most good uploaders will tell you the number of audio channels, as well as the codec, among many other things. And no audio will be gigabytes worth, unless it's a huge movie file, like a full blu-ray rip or something.

It's always hard to say what video quality to get, since everyone has their own taste. But just try a few different ones, and if audio is that important, look for ones with 2 chan and that's it, otherwise I'd say the audio isn't as important as the video. You can definitely get good quality video and audio for 8 Gb, with the audio being a relatively small part of it.

And TBP is a good place to find them.

You have a good point, if you want to see further detail I suggest you take a look at RARBG for similar files and a detailed rundown of the audio, some of the uploads you will find there as they are scene releases. It is up to you to decide what is best.

That's what i mean RARBG i'm specially looking at..

I can see huge different between BD and remuxes (minus most of the audio formats), so probably thinking of going for those. eg few GB compared to 8 or more..

Hey guys i have a question,most of the times i dowload the bigger file and i look for higher bitrate and hd resolution but sometimes the image is not crystal clear,it has an effect like a little blur or snowing,i have a screenshot to see what i am talking about.
Why is that?


Now the specs for this quality are
Size: (8.74 GiB), avg.bitrate: 13515 kb/s
Video: h264, yuv420p, 1920x1040, 23.98 fps®

that is called digital noise, or film grain depending on the source material. it is not something that can be circumvented with a higher bit rate or better codec. you can run it through noise filters, but this will only alter the original image and is traditionally frowned upon in releases.
the only possible way to reduce this is by remastering the video, and that is only assuming a master copy even exists.

it should be noted this phenomenon exists even in 4k masters

Thank you for the detailed and informative answer

maybe this will help you. all codecs, all file formats, including video https://wikiext.com/

Just get the one around 4-5gb. That's usually about the best one. Bigger and they use up space unnescessarily. Smaller and the quality suffers. Trust me. That's what I've been doing for 10 years, and it works out great.
