[opendtv] Re: Tivo vs. MCE

Lossless WM video?  I was not aware of that being available.  Is this unique
to WM 10 or MCE?

If it's lossless WM audio, why is CPU time an issue?

APE, FLAC, SHN, and others are lossless encoders, which you're comparing
to WMAPro in lossy encoding mode. So there really is no comparison to be
made.

In the case where WMAPro is used in lossless mode, the only valid
comparison for a shootout would be encoding time, filesize, and cpu
playback usage. APE for example consumes 2/3 the CPU for playback.

Open sores? Is that the brandname of the MS kool-aid?
