Exactly, that's why it's only really Japanese developers moaning about lack
of storage, they're all big on filling up discs with videos.

Look how good the cutscenes in Halo 2 looked, they were all in-game -
granted you had textures loading while it played, but that was only due to
it streaming content in, rather then loading it all with a loading screen.
How much space does Halo 2 take up? Probably not much, Halo was only about
600MB.

    ... As far as speed is concerned, it is the Intel jpeg library which is responsible for the fast loading and "conversion from jpeg" times, both in Olaf's code and in the results I reported myself using the Intel jpeg wrapper at the vbAccelerator link I posted. ... Essentially, loading a large pixel size bmp is slow mostly because of the large amount of data that needs to be dragged from the disk, and the "read from disk" time disk can be speeded up greatly by loading an equivalent jpg image from disk instead of a bmp, simply because a jpg image of the same pixel size has its data greatly compressed and there is therefore very much less data to be read from disk. ... However, if you are using the VB LoadPicture method or GDI or GDI+ to load the jpg from disk then all of the time you saved by loading a comparatively small amount of data is negated by the fact that those methods are slow at decoding and converting the jpg data, so you don't end up winning. ...
