Well, the file size kinda depends on the format. I found a copy of the Matrix in Real Video G2 format that was just under 400MB (384 if I remember right). I downloaded the first couple megs of it just to see what kinda of quality it was (no way in hell I'm gonna DL 384MB on my 56k dialup), and it seemed to be excellent quality (400k/s encoding I think). However, I don't understand why people would want to watch movies on their PCs. If they had a TV tuner card or something and were watching playback from a VCR, that's one thing, but encoded video that's not even full screen? That and I think that having to switch CDs in the middle of the movie would be a pain.
