An Old Friend
When I first decided to convert my media to electronic format the dvds I converted were nearly all a gigabyte in size. Lately, I have been finding bluray streams that are under 300 mb in size and play perfectly. I find many titles on youtube and youtube streams about 1.5mbs on a good day. thevideoMe streams around 800kbs and {...} around 300kbs. I find some really hard to locate videos on {...} but that site has huge files (close to a gig) and only streams around 14kbs. One movie there is an all day affair.
I have a spreadsheet (Need to rework some new fields) and it reflects all the folders and files on my ext harddrives. This list comes from my notepad list where I list the movies I just got and zipped. I use it to 'find' titles so I can decide whether to redown that title. When I put the zippped files away, I delete the older larger files in favor of a fresher smaller one. When I get an extended version or a directors cut I create a folder and box up all versions together.
I have a few movies that are always unzipped and in my watch folder. These are movies that I can rewatch anytime again and again. I have a zipped version archived just in case.
Godzilla (2014)
Gojira (1954) with subtitles
King Kong (2005) extended bluray
Jurassic World (2015) bluray
Pacific Rim (2013) Directors Cut bluray
Tomorrowland (2015)
The Martian (2015)
Stomp Live (2009)
All 7 Star Wars movies
Both new Star Trek Movies
Mad Max Fury Road (2015)
Terminator Genisys (2015) bluray
Both of The Thing movies
Aliens and AvP 1
Harbinger Down (2015)
Leprechaun Origins (2014)
and a few others like The Remnant and Captain Phillips
When I am impressed with a movie I try to post a page in Movies. I stopped putting stream links in my posts but if anyone needs a link I can find one more times than not. I won't post the link on the open community but I can give it to you in a conversation PM.
