by the way the best version of some of these films is actually the HDTV version that comes on these Microsoft promo DVD-ROM discs. Very very cool...very very high rez =p

It's encoded in WMV9 but at like 6MB/s...that's megabytes not megabits =p Some crazy resolutions...

Err...other way 'round.
It is megabits per second (Mb/s), not megaBytes per second (MB/s).

6Mb/s is a very low bitrate for a (720p) High Definition recording. Standard Definition (480i) DVDs have a similar bitrate.

9 Mb/s is a ridiculously low bitrate for a (1080p) High Definition recording. It's great for squeezing it onto a DVD.

At 6 MegaBytes per second, a 4.7GB DVD would have about 13 minutes of program.

At 9 MegaBytes per second, a 4.7GB DVD would have about 9 minutes of program.

You'd need a pile of media and it would be very inconvenient.

Too bad they're not selling the poster.
