Re: Im ready to buy!
You can get what approaches DVD quality at 1500KB/sec using newer codecs. The MPEG-1 technology used on VCDs is almost a decade old!
I have a feeling the unit would work a lot like a TiVo, where it would begin the download, and then let you start watching while the download continues (the 30 seconds is to create enough of a "buffer")
Speaking of TiVo, at "basic" quality, it gets 1.20 hours/gig. Doing the math:
72 minutes / 1GB =
72 minutes / 1024MB =
72 minutes / 1048576KB =
72 minutes / 8388608Kb =
1 minute / 116508.4 Kb
1 second / 1941.8 Kb/Sec |
