How big is the usual Blu-ray and UHD file at maximum uncompressed quality when ripped? And how big is it with some level of unnoticable compression?
For a Blu-Ray movie, the uncompressed size will usually be 15-25GB and sometimes as large as 35GB. An uncompressed UHD movie will usually be around 60GB. Since Blu-Rays are usually encoded in H.264 and UHD Blu-Rays are usually encoded as H.265, you can usually expect a file size of around 7GB without any noticeable compression.
