What the hell are you watching that has a bitrate of >100Mb? Because unless you have a 16K television I suspect the answer is nothing.

I have a 4k blu-ray remux of Misery that has a 104 Mpbs bitrate. But there are only a couple of movies in my collection that break 100. Most of my remuxes are around 50 to 70.

Anyhoo it's all moot in terms of network speed since I just use a htpc to play all of them.

I have plenty with higher bitrate audio that can hit 80. And with the overhead of the rest of the connections, and possibly just some limits on the chipset for TCP overhead etc, it starts stuttering around that 80mbps limit.

80MBit/s audio? How?

For reference: 2x channels of 16-bit 48KHz raw uncompressed PCM audio (ie "perfect except maybe the noise floor under very very specific circumstances") is about 1.5MBit/s. Even if you go 96KHz 6 channels (5.1 setup) 24bit uncompressed PCM then it's only 14MBit + overheads.

The audio isn't 80Mbps, the entire file is. The audio is TrueHD7.1, though. I probably don't need it but I haven't bothered transcoding it yet because I'm not exactly out of space or bandwidth.
