I recently started building a movie/show collection again on my home NAS.

I know that generally H.265 files can be 25-50% less bitrate than H.264 and be the same or better quality. But what’s the golden zone for both types? 10 Mbps for a 1080p H.264 movie? And would it be like 5 Mbps for H.265 1080p to be on par with H.264? What about 4K?

For file size: would it be 25GB for a 2 hour 1080p movie to be near or at original Blu-Ray/digital quality?

    As someone very new to this, are WEB DL the second tier below remux? I see a lot of WEB DL and always hesitant because most movies/shows don’t look as good streaming than a high quality download. I assumed that web DL would be just the same thing as what Netflix or any streaming service provides? But maybe I’m not factoring in them throttling the bit rate to my source?
