RE: [ST] Baja 1000 video clip



Cool video!

As for how they do it...  it's all about bandwidth (and normal
compression). That was a 36+MB file that was just over 3 minutes long.
At roughly 11MB per minute, a 2 hour movie would be about 30% of a DVD's
capacity.  This is about DVD quality less the special features, multiple
languages, digital 5.1 sound, and subtitles.

George, awesome, thanks for posting.  How the heck do they acheive such
video quality over the net?  That looked like a dvd playing even when I
bumped it up to full screen on my 19" monitor - impressive!  And a must
see movie looks like.
