Michael all of humanity's information at your fingertips and you refuse to use it and confidentiality incorrecting someone. Let's use the avatar movies.The Theatrical Release (Digital Cinema Package - DCP)​The actual file sent to movie theaters—which is uncompressed or visually lossless uncompressed-equivalent distribution data (using codecs like JPEG 2000)—typically ranges from 150 GB to 300 GB for a feature-length 3D blockbuster, depending on the frame rate (e.g., 24fps or high-frame-rate 48fps) and audio configurations.​2. Consumer Home Video Masters​Standard Blu-ray (2009): ~45 GB (compressed using VC-1 or AVC at roughly 30 to 40 Mbps bitrates).​4K UHD Blu-ray: Higher bitrates pushing the file past 60 GB to 80+ GB.​3. Total Studio Production Footprint (Wētā FX)​If you are referring to the raw studio production files handled by Wētā FX during the making of the franchise, the scale is monumental:​The original Avatar (2009): Roughly 1 Petabyte (1,000 TB) of total local storage and active rendering cache.​Sequels (The Way of Water & Fire and Ash): Scaled dramatically upward, with The Way of Water utilizing 18.5 Petabytes and later sequels scaling past 140 Petabytes of accumulated production data. Digital cameras take 24 pictures a second with each picture reaching over 50mb per picture spanning over 2-3 hours

The intel a380 itx oc is an amazing card for transcoding and encoding. $130 and I'm using it to convert over 40tb into av1. So far I've fit 19tb in to 9tb with little noticeable quality loss saving me hundreds in storage. The card has more than paid for itself multiple times and I'm only half done.
