If I wanted to watch movies destroyed by compression, I'd go streaming. Blu-ray allows for way less compression. There's a reason Blu-ray remuxes aren't DVD-sized. Heck, some movies don't even fit on a single layer Blu-ray! Do you want to compress that to 4.7 GB? And that's only main title, without extras!
