Yeah people forget a movie can be 4k pixels but not a lot of bits to encode them.

I wonder if we should start quoting bit-rates for quality.



Flashback to when I encoded 56 kbps mono mp3s to save on limited hard disk space. :D


The codec, aka how efficiently those bits are used also matters a lot.


I wonder if you could give a universal metric of the differential from the source.
