[url=http://blog.netflix.com/2008/11/encoding-for-streaming.html]here is there tech specs, at least as current as late 2008[/url].
i’m not sure if they have changed anything, it seems possible since they are claiming 1080p enabled streaming for the PS3 plus 5.1 audio is coming but who knows.
i guess i was off, its not 6Mbps, its 3.8Mbps. and its definitely 720p
my experience is that its not quite as good as a (compressed) cable HD feed but still very watchable. it works best for video without quick actions (duh, i suppose). i remember watching Big Fan and thinking it looked real good, but i imagine you can retain a lot of quality while still hitting bitrates with that movie.
