Today though, the mocking doesn’t make sense and is confusing. I haven’t ever owned a TV.
(and it really was v.92; I still have the double-bong towards the end of the handshake emblazoned in my memory)
Though using the codecs and hardware of that time I doubt the quality at even that size would be great. Compare an old 349MB (sized to fit two on a CD-R/-RW, likely 480p though smaller wasn't uncommon) cap of a Stargate episode picked up in the early/mid 20XXs to a similarly sized file compressed using h265 or even h264 on modern hardware.
H.265 or H.264 would absolutely crush Xvid for compressing HD content, both in size and quality.
lol
If you went to blockbuster, you could move 4.7 gb to your home in half the time (unless your family was involved in choosing the movie which would slow you down)
I also remember when they went through and re-encoded all of the videos so they could play on the original model iPhone.
