Oh God…. The mention of Divx brought back memories. The DVD sub-format that literally killed Circuit City and rightfully so.

People who shoot videos with a camera off their screen like that should be banned from YouTube.

"You can already get over 17.5 GB. 270 CDs can be put on one CD (DVD, sic!)"

Where did it get his maths from?

Assuming a best case dual-sided, double-layer DVD, that's indeed ~8.5x2 = 17GB.

But at 650MB a CD, that's 27 CDs, not 270!

With the infamous MP3 compression, you could get that figure right...

I've only got a couple, and never had any ability to watch them.
