300mb Movies For U

[Patricia]

Rightnow, for the vast majority of us at home, that's 4K Blu-rays. Our guide to the best 4K Blu-ray players is actually one of our articles that gets the most engagement from readers, despite the fact that the best streaming services have taken over as the norm for so many people.

So I loved reading this story from our colleagues on TechRadar Pro about a successor format to Blu-ray that's already looking at being able to store 1TB on a single disc, and hopes to get to 10TB per disc by the end of the decade. And it got me thinking about what I would actually want from a format that went bigger and better than Blu. What would really make a difference?

Depending on how to you want to 'measure' it, 35mm film is generally considered to be able to provide somewhere between 4K and 6K resolution when digitized, so there'd be no point in trying to turn the world's library of movies into 8K.

Video that we watch at home is compressed, to make it easier to get it to us, whether that's via Blu-ray, broadcast or Netflix. Uncompressed video is very, very large, so compromises have to be made to its color depth, dynamic range, and detail to deliver it in a package friendly to the average wallet and/or internet connection.

So could we go even better than the theaters? When 35mm film is scanned and captured, the exact data rate depends on the method, but BlackMagic's Cintel Scanner for film (a truly beautiful objet d'art, if you've never seen one) captures information at about 300MB/s. Some other methods are more like 200MB/s.

Either way, there's yet more potential image quality there than we even get from files that digital cinemas use. We could double the data per frame compared to the theater version and not break a sweat. Heck, why not triple it!

What results would we hope to see from this? Again, it would be in the depth of the dynamic range and the naturalism of the color in the image. Each frame could fit in a wider number of shades from light to dark, and more individual shades of color (even just the natural variations of colors you get as light plays on an object), bringing things closer to what the eye's capable of seeing.

One of the reasons I got so excited about the new format is that it offers the scope to go way beyond our current video constraints. But if we step back from my feverish desire for 'better-than-theater' quality slightly, and set our sights on having 'as-good-as-theater' as the target for home viewing, then actually a new disc format might not be needed at all.

One reason for this is a new compression method, called H.266 or VVC (Versatile Video Coding). This is the successor to the H.265 compression used currently for 4K Blu-rays, and apparently offers the same level of (subjective) image quality, but it requires about half the data.

But you have to pay thousands just for a Kaleidescape player, not even including the storage. Wouldn't it be nice if you could get that quality with one of the best 4K projectors on a nice inexpensive disc, or downloaded to a cheaper streaming device with a large enough external drive attached?
