[from a friend who is supposed to know whereof he speaks...]

"Well, Microsoft, the H.264 consortium, et.al. have done it.

They couldn't find a way to play nice in their little sandbox. None of
them will make anything from their digital video formats.

The Library of Congress, and Digital Cinema have gone with JPEG2000.

The compression rate for JPEG2000 is incredible. An over 2 hour
theatrical release takes only 250 G. All I frames, so no time fractured
macro blocking.

So on the 4 RU storage system that Sun just announced (48 TB) you could
put close to 200 movies with resolution several times that of HDTV."
