[opendtv] Online demo : roland Garros 720p@25 at 3 Mbps

The URL is as follows :

http://roland-garros.france2.fr/index-fr.php?page=videoHD

There is a link just above the videos to download the codec, which 
installs (under windows) by double-clicking on the .msi file. Windows 
media player can then be used to see the videos.
It seems there were 50 fps samples available, too, but they have removed 
them due to a bug in WMA related to that framerate.
Note that the codec makes contact with a server to allow the video to 
play, so a functional internet link is needed , even after the download.
I've only been able to test it on a 17 " 4/3 monitor set to 1280x960, 
but the quality seems quite good for the bitrate. There are positive 
comments from an owner of a 720 p videoprojector as well on the (french) 
forum.
The codec used is mobiclip from Actimagine, a proprietary thing said to 
rely on mechanisms differing from the standard MPEG2 or H.264, and using 
significantly less CPU power (they still require 900 Mhz for 720@50p, 
though).
