If you were tasked with putting together a message to send to space aliens, with the only restriction that the message had to be under 4GB, what would you send?

Unless you compress it heavily, a Blu-ray rip is in the 20 to 40GB range.

Blu-ray is yes.

A rip implies higher compression /changes.

A movie like Independence Day? Easy to do 7gb with good quality. Blurays is H264, We have x265 now. 4gb size? Those explosions gonna be chunky, but film is watchable.
