i have so little DVD experience it's not even funny. as you know, i am working off my original mini DVs, and most of the other experience i have with video is working from MPGs, WMVs and quicktimes. i have never yet even ripped a DVD.

somehow i think of DVD content as higher than a lot of what i see on the web - is that not correct? what resolution is the average DVD movie?

Given that DVDs have highly compressed MPEGs as their video source, which is a very lossy compresssion method, I could totally see how the Maleflixx product would end up being much higher quality if they start from a much higher quality source. I will be very interested to see how our products look on Maleflixx as compared to the other PPV providers that we're working with.
