Maybe Netflix starts sending you pieces of the DVD you've rented? XD

My question is (aside from all the DRM and pricing nonsense), how do they define DVD quality? I had trouble finding what resolution is actually being provided (720x480p) and what 'bit rate' is being used. Normally, DVD should be in the neighborhood of around 8 Mbps for an MPEG2 stream, I believe. However, WMV is a very good format (at least for HD is seems to rock) and a lower bit rate would be fine, as long as the resolution is correct.

This would be a much better product if it allowed burning to a regular DVD to watch on any player and/or if the price was competitive (since there is no packaging or shipping for them to pay for).

Why these people insist in pricing rentals or dvd downloads (many of a lesser quality) so high $$$. There are many (including myself) waiting for more services like Vongo with better quality. Vongo give you access to the Starz Movies for only $9.99 a month and this people want to charge 3.99 for a rental????????????
