Why would you expect a different approach than they've taken with music and TV shows?

It really depends on if they introduce a product that allows you to stream it to your TV. If that becomes the standard way to watch the movies, I would think that you would need files approaching 1 GB to have decent quality. The current iTunes video is generally meant for playing on the iPod Video which of course calls for quite a bit lower quality.

The iTunes store made it both easier and cheaper (since you could buy it by the song)....I think it might be hard to for Apple to duplicate that for movies.
