    Ditto to "The Fifth Element". That thing was a travesty of science fiction.

    Or, for that matter, "the fifth element". Seriously, this was one of the worst mass-produced pieces of hollywood crap ever, and I really expected more from Luc Besson. Something like this from the man who brought us movies like "Subway" - I was shocked.

    Hey, if you're dumb enough to let CDs and DVDs autoplay on your computer, you deserve whatever happens as a result.

    "Now, thats a huge improvement over VHS which is something like 352x240"

    VHS stores every line, but at limited bandwidth, so the resolution is something like 300x480(or x576 for PAL). The horizontal resolution (~300) is kind of variable though, depending on tape speed, grade, and the recorder.
