Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I don't understand the other positive review for this video pack. My guess is, like many, they all got this free with their TV purchase. And if reviewed as a free product, sure why not. But if you didn't get this free, please know it's not worth $50 let alone hundreds. Here's why... This pack is supposed to include "4K movies." And while that is technically true, it critical to understand they have highly compressed the movies. So you're not getting the original content in 4K quality, you're getting 4K content that has been compressed to a lower quality to take up less hard drive space then is uncompressed for playback but not at the original quality. This makes sense when you are live streaming video and need to be concerned with people's bandwidth limitations but they are using only about half the capacity of the hard drive it come on, so it makes no sense for the video pack. The results are unimpressive to anyone who previously had a decent TV and blu-ray player. In fact, I have many of the same movies that came on the video pack on blu-ray so I did some testing using the same TV (a Samsung 78HU9000). Pretty consistently people actually preferred the upscaled blu-rays over the video pack 4K version of the exact same movies playing the exact same scenes. So if you get this for free, fine, but otherwise you will get better results for a fraction of the cost to just buy the movies you like among the 10 on blu-ray and play them instead. Since I have all the movies I want of these 10 already, the pack is worthless. Also, note that the "30 documentaries" are really short video clips or recycled extremely old IMAX clips for the most part, not full scale documentaries. I sampled a dozen of them and didn't find any full documentaries. A couple I had seen on IMAX decades ago. UPDATE -- I neglected to mention in my original review that in addition to not being higher video quality than Blu-ray due to the level of compression (which someone else pointed out elsewhere may be due to a limitation in the USB transfer rate), the audio quality is far worse than with a blu-ray. Unlike blu-rays which offer lossless 7.1 (sometimes 9.1) audio quality, these use much more compressed audio formats. So when you add up the full experience -- at best comparable video quality, and definitively worse audio quality -- you are definitely better off buying the comparable blu-rays of these titles to getting this video pack, unless it comes free with your TV (like it did with mine). For the record, I have not used this pack once since I wrote my initial review after doing all my experiments with it.
