I recently started buying movies on Vudu. I was struggling for a long time with whether or not I wanted to collect media on physical disks or digitally.

Right now that’s what I’m doing but there’s always the looming fear of anything I buy being taken away if the service gets shut down.

I’m curious how others keep their media collections. Are you a Blu-ray or 4k UHD collector? Do you use a digital service like Vudu or something similar?

Tell me your thoughts!

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.
