When the 4k movies come out, how are we going to be able to download them when pretty much all the ISPs got together and started capping everyone's bandwidth? We're not even going to be able to stream them legally so then what are we going to do?

H.265 will have caught on by then, so file sizes should *hopefully* still be manageable. My ISP's (non-business) cap is somewhere in the neighborhood of 300GB/mo. I usually exceed that, and they haven't said shit yet.
How much compression can H.265 do? I thought I heard a 4k movie was over 100GB.
have coming out 4 4K movies

Truly, I'm into getting free stuff as much as the next klepto, but if you really feel you have to have such a pristine copy (so good that a free blu-ray won't suffice), I say go buy the damn thing.

Do we really need 4k-8k movies? I am a noob concerning movie formats. Full BR Rips take up way too much space for me. I will stick to the lower quality xvids or compressed BR rips.. This is the 1st time i have heard mention of 4k format movies at 100gbs each. Technology is making it harder for pirates...

Who knows we will just have to see.

The only way to get the content currently is through the sony media box that you can buy with your 4k tv. It's $700 and comes preloaded with ten movies. I've hooked up one of these and the built in 2 tb drive had 1.40 tb available with the ten movies loaded. So with the op system that makes it mid 50gb's per movie. I believe they are still using 264 codec.

All the "100GB+" quotes I've seen are the DCP 4K formats the cinemas use, and those are jpeg2000 iirc. Who knows what the final spec is gonna be.
No we probably don't. The jump from HD->4K isn't nearly as appreciable as the transition from SD was. It'll be nice when I can view 48fps material though. I'll fall asleep twice as fast.
Ha I'm going to need a bigger HDD if they are 300gb
