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As for the EU setting hdtv standards i sure hope they havent and won't the mp2 platform is old and outdated, the mpeg-4 option is far more efficent at compressing data and keeping up quality.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
its good to know that while my screen will be getting better pictures sent to it the quality of the shows will continue to fall untill all thats left friends on endless repeats and reality tv
here ends my rant
hdtv is good very nice more than happy to have it.
