That does indeed mean 40-50GB per movie, and that's with a tweaked version of AVC, let alone HEVC. So all this fretting over the mooted 100GB capacity of BD 4K is a storm in a teacup IMO. It might mean that extras will have to go on a separate disc, or very long movies may well need splitting, but these are not great hardships to bear. (And the extras thing is where the combo with a regular BD will come in very handy, just as it does with many barebones 3D discs.)
