If H.264 was better compression than Divx AVI than wouldn’t the file size per movie be somewhere between 400-700MB per movie correct? but… than again I suppose the size was for 480p and not 720p or 1080i

Movies will be less than 1Gb for sure.

Unless they are going to try and stream HD.

In answer to Jodeo’s remark … assume each movie you watch is, with the new h264 compression, somewhat less than a current DVD movie (4.7GB) … let’s assume 2GB. That means 500 movies a month viewable, not 60. But it won’t only be movies it’ll be TV shows, music videos, etc.

But how many people will be willing to pay $99/year more to Apple than they already pay their ISPs and cable companies. My guess, the .MAC fee will get integrated into the price of new Macs. Only 8 days now kiddies.

“1GB combined email and iDisk storage
Share files on Mac or PC
Showcase more movies and vacation photos
10 GB of data transfer per month”

It appears that this was not meant to be shown. I saw it on my account yesterday, but it is now gone. Kind of like when the Apple store showed the specs for the new G5 before they were announced. Someone may be unemployed early in the new year…

My settings don’t show a “Data Transfer” quota. I wonder if it only come into effect once an account has reached a certain limit. I sure don’t get much traffic to my Homepage.

Hmmmmmm…
If the rumor is true – that Apple plans to sell movies, etc. that you can store on your .Mac account, then this tidbit falls nicely into that puzzle.

1,000 GB of data would be in the ballpark of, what? – 60 or so movies/viewings per month?

More Hints Towards Apple’s Media Center Computer

I imagine that you would make an online purchase of a film, which would be quickly delivered to your .Mac account via Apple’s servers. Your media center PC would then download the content (admittedly, at a slower speed) and then you would be able to…
