First Flatrate-Service for Online-Movies
 According to NYT, Digital media company RealNetworks Inc. and Starz Encore Group launched an online flat-rate movie download service in the US this Monday. The service costs $12.95/mth. and will give access to currently hundred movies, including titles such as "Finding Nemo" and "Pirates of the Caribbean".What makes me wonder is the quality of those downloads. Reuters mentions a 20-minute download time for each movie, which seems way too small to download a high-quality file that would be similar to DVD quality (a DVD encoded in XviD or DivX is still around 700 MB, and I believe most users won't be able to download such a big file in 20 minutes). |
