    80 gb is not a lot for movies. My average 4K movie is between 60 and 80 gb per movie. If you start encoding and compressing them you start seing compression artifacts and reduction in quality very quickly.

    My advice: don’t compress movies if you can. Just get more storage. Storage is relatively cheap these days.

      What. If you compress them to zip, 7zip, rar, etc. You will never get any artifacts

        I guess they are talking about re-encoding because video files are already compressed.

          You can compress with the method above to save more space. But you have to uncompress before watching
