Why Convert 4K Blu-rays to 1080p Video?

Even if 4K content is available, there are a few reasons why people would desire to convert their 4K UHD Blu-rays to 1080p video. 

💡4K Blu-ray movies typically exceed 50-100 GB. Converting them to the 1080p format significantly reduces file size, making it easier to manage storage and share between devices.

💡Some media players struggle to play 4K content smoothly due to limited processing power. Converting to 1080p avoids lagging or buffering issues.

💡The difference between 4K and 1080p may not be noticeable to users who watch from a distance or on a smaller screen.

💡Because of the lower resolution and file size, 1080p files are easier to edit. And it takes less time and resources to convert and re-encode 1080p files.
