Blu-Ray isn`t dead, but it also isn`t the DVD killer

If they're the same video file then streaming and downloading would take exactly the same data.

According to netflix streaming 1 hour of there 4k content will use approximatley 7gb of data, compared to 3gb for HD.

Thanks for the info!

Crazy just thinking that if you were to stream BvS extended edition (or Titanic) in 4K that's 21gb of bandwidth.  I know some of my friends and family members have around 60-80gb a month for bandwidth so I doubt they'd want to stream anything 4K just yet.

H.265 encoding solves the size problem in a way. If 4k needed 4x the size of a 1080p file ( since it`s 4x times pixels), with h.265 it needs only 2x, with the same quality, and when encoding techniques evolve the files size will be even lower. Remember when a 1080p movie needed 20gb~15gb for 2 hours and now we can get files with 4 gb that have no discernible compression artifacts or lower quality unless you are the super crazy videophile.
