How Much Memory Will A 2-Hour Movie Take Up? What About Cost?

How much memory will a 2-hour movie take up, on my iPod?
Right now I have 2 hour movies that take up about 600 MBs, or so.
Also, what will the cost of movies on iTunes be?

60GB (Black), Windows XP, www.BillyJoelForum.com

Well it depends on what format you convert it to as to how much space it will take.

Far as movies go, iTUnes doesn't sell movies rightnow. Its RUMORED there going to start selling them on the US store at 14 bucks for new movies and 9-10 bucks for older ones, but we will have to wait til Sept 12th to see if its true or not

Yes, I knew about the September 12th date.

But before I buy any movies, I need to know if I have room on my iPod...

Again, noone knows any facts yet on price, size, type or anything. Apple is very secretive and noone knows anything about them til there ready to announce whats going on.

People thought they would drop new Core 2 iMacs at the event, but apple dropped them yesterday. This has lead some of the press to believe apple will release new ipods with 120GB harddrives

Well don't sell it yet, it could be a rumor that never comes true.
