"a cathartic and lovely experience" - Paste Magazine

Blu-rays typically feature lossless audio like DTS-HD Master Audio. Smaller 800MB files usually downmix this to stereo or low-bitrate AAC, meaning you lose the immersive surround sound experience. Official Harry Potter Blu-ray Collections
In the early days of digital archiving, finding a high-quality Blu-ray rip often meant committing gigabytes of hard drive space per film. The "800MB" standard became a legendary benchmark in the online community. It represented a "sweet spot" in encoding technology: the moment file compression became sophisticated enough to shrink a massive 1080p movie into a file small enough to fit on a single CD (or later, a cheap USB stick), while retaining the crisp detail of the BDRip source.
