I'd just add my 2c that every single one of our IP delivery (which includes MPEG2 encapsulation) customers and just about everyone we deal with wants H.264. To me it seems that there is no need to even list H.264 rollouts or prove anything in terms of bandwidth savings or PQ. People come up at NAB and other shows and ask directly for it - even the little guy with a dozen settops doing corporate training. I would say that if you are a company dealing with video delivery or encoding and are not looking at H.264 then you are basically toast at this stage. What *does* interest me though are the rollouts of VC1. Is it gaining traction with broadcasters and non-web-streaming operators? By traction I mean smaller operators and deals not in-part or -whole financed by Microsoft. Cheers Kon On 12/16/06, Steve Wilson <stevenjwilson@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
