Ram disk requirements

[TheDreadPirate]

Isn't best practice to have the RAM disk the same size as the file you're transcoding? So if you've got massive 4K remuxes, chuck as much into the RAM disk as you can, but if it's mostly middling bitrate 1080p content, a few gigs will do fine?

Yeah.  4GB works for me, but I only have 2 people using my server at the same time, max.  My content is all 1080p and transcodes are usually to a lower bit rate and resolution and fit within my 4GB ram disk.

If you have 4K content or have a lot of users you probably need more.
