Remember when there were only two HC capable MPEG-2 encoders
available (95-97), and they both cost well in excess of $100,000?
We are near the end of the learning curve on MPEG-2...
Just beginning with MPEG-4.
What is encouraging is the large number of companies getting behind
H.264 at many levels, including chips, software encoders/decoders,
etc. And the many levels of performance that are being addressed -
from cell phones to HD acquisition using the FRExt profiles.
In ten years, H.264 will seem outdated.
