We're talking 15 to 20 minutes to rip a full lossless blu ray movie from start to finish. The ripping speed is dependent on the drive and the range of speeds of drives these days isn't too drastically different. The problem with this comes down to bandwith. Much more reasonable for data caps, yet losing so much bit rate and thus detail. Companies like Netflix, Hulu, and yes, even Criterion with their streaming service know this, and the average movie stream from Netflix at 1080p (base Blu Ray resolution) clocks in at around 2-2.5 GB an hour. It would absolutely eat into my data caps. I wouldn’t be able to do anything else, like look up the news, download an album, or play games online. If I were to stream full-fat uncompressed Blu Ray rips, I’d only be able to watch 25 movies a month. I, like many Americans, am stuck with Comcast. To put this in comparison, the iTunes 1080p copy of John Wick 3 clocks in at 5.41 GB, meaning that the Blu Ray has roughly 8 times more data than a DOWNLOADED film.

This means that they can crank the bit rate up for the best possible visual quality for the movie.

To be generous, let’s say 8-10 gigs of that 50 GB Blu Ray disc is special features. These bonus features are often not at the same bitrate/resolution of the film, and don’t need to be, if it’s a talking heads style interview or documentary. They are often crammed with bonus features, commentary tracks, documentaries, etc. I’m gonna use a Criterion Collection Blu-Ray as an example, because they often do as much as possible to get the best possible quality on discs (including splitting movies across two 50GB Blu discs if the film is long enough), and they have their own streaming service.ĪLL Criterion releases come on Dual Layer Blu Ray discs, totaling in at 50GB per disc.
