I would have to be a little suspicious of a file expanding that much... 5-300 smells fishy, I think it might be a dud!:zombie:

In Antwerp, Belgium a guy is working on a compression format that will blow you of your feet. A reporter of a computermagazine went to see him.
He has put a movie with the picture as good as DVD in one file that was only 30 megabyte.They say it stays in its native format so you don't need an exotic player or something...
