hmm, that's normal DVD, isn't it?  the newfangled flavors (BD, etc)
seem to be 5-10 higher capacity.


So if Netflix isn't lying when they say they have shipped over a billion
movies that means they have moved roughly 5 exabytes of data via the US
mail.  I wonder how that compares the amount moved over the internet during
the same time period?

compressed data rates appear to be 20-50 Mbps (lower than 20
probably doesn't count as HD.

funny how all the HD stuff seems very fuzzy ;)
