Most likely, they're just using some lossy compression like DivX to get the movie down to CD-R size. DivX is freely available right now. Further, DVD-R drives are more like $400, not $4000 (though I beileve it is quite a bit more for commercial-quality burners). - -- Overflow on /dev/null, please empty the bit bucket. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjxjTCoACgkQqpueKcacfLTKrwCglrcb2bdMuSzxziTc8EX1lFRb opsAoIm841qB+go7MGzbZMCXcwpCvded =AMJ4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Chat mailing list Chat at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/chat
