Is Kaleidescape Better Than Physical Media? | Encoding Size Comparisons for 40+ HD & 4K HDR Movies

In this video, I challenge if Kaleidescape quality is "better" than physical media/disc/Blu-ray across a variety of HD and 4K HDR titles from various studios, release years, and movie genres. I'm comparing the main movie video + audio stream ripped from HD/4K Blu-ray into MKV vs. the download size of the same movie only on the Kaleidescape system. Understand that size is not the only or end all determination factor for quality; however, the larger the size with similar compression techniques then the more bits are being used to sample/encode the content and it should indicate in overall likelihood of higher quality and less negative artifacts. Small differences in size will not matter, but as you see in the video, some films are considerably larger on Kaleidescape.
