<p>Do me a favor. Download six different ~8 hour h.264 38.8Mbps 29.97fps 1080p clips on your fastest laptop (yes, I'll wait). Fire up six instances of your fastest video player and tile them across your monitor. Mash play on all six at once. What's your <strike>frame rate</strike> user experience like?</p>
<p>Now repeat the test with a single 6-7Mbps clip. (Pick one with a visible timecode if you're worried that lossy compression would render a graph illegible.)</p>
<p>How did that work for you? :-)</p>
