What is a very good bitrate for 4K video files above which it does not make sense to go? - eviltoast

Now you can find the same 4K video from few GBs to a hundred GBs, and I am wondering: where to stop? With music there is a similar phenomenon by which after a certain bitrate it becomes an esoteric art to detect improvements. So, what is your “very good enough” bitrate for 4K videos?

    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.
