In closed universes, anything is possible. I note that this is not a current deployment. It's something of a cinch to have MPEG-4 Part 4 or 10 travel over MPEG-2 transport streams. Frankly, I'm not even sure that there is such a thing as MPEG-4 transport streams, and thank you, Bill, for at least raising the issue. I note the hypesters are too wrapped up in their panties to even recognize that this was the central thesis of my assertion: that MPEG-4 transport streams don't exist in the real world, and that there is little or no technical or business reason for dropping MPEG-2 transport streams to deliver advanced services. Essence streams are another matter.
