Re: Future of TV?

That seems nice idea, hopefully they can work with xvid which is also open source, as they can get 1/4 to 1/3 of the data rate of mp2, where that one there only getting half.

As for the EU setting hdtv standards i sure hope they havent and won't the mp2 platform is old and outdated, the mpeg-4 option is far more efficent at compressing data and keeping up quality. Even microsoft are trying to take the lead on it i wonder if they'll design a stb :-) lets hope it doesnt bsod if they do
