H.264 is lossy. True lossless video is crazy huge. If we had true lossless video it would take many orders of magnitude more storage.

Williarob has the real files. They are too large to share anywhere unless you want stacks of hard drives. Literally. Big ones. We’re talking about loading this kind of stuff into decently large SANs.

Each frame has been said to be about 100MB. I don’t know the frame count, but let’s say 150,000. That’s 15TB. That’s not going to fit on a Blu Ray.

H.264 is to video what mp3 is to audio. Or jpeg vs raw. They use many tricks to compress the original source.

Point is, he’s got the lossless scan of film frames. It’s a totally different ballgame to work with that stuff. Not something most people work with outside of serious pro video and movie setups. This stuff is seriously pro level.
