10/24   I was on a singapore airlines plane recently and they had Video On
        Demand on every seat.  All recent movies that you can pause/reverse
        etc.  That tells me that the movies are all in digital form in a
        file server on the plane.  Anybody know more about the format of the
        files of these things?  Is it a bit-by-bit replica of whatever info
        is on a DVD?  Thanks.

           The list is probably even longer now - it has been a while since
           that patent search was run.
