Hello All 
  i am new to this digital content would , i would like to know and understand 
the Pros/Cons of different methods of implementation of the MPEG -4 , MPEG-2 
decoder is better compared to the other .

  Based on my current understanding there are two ways by which the MPEG-4 
/MPEG-2 decoder's  can be implemented the first method is using a combo of DSP 
processor and software implementation of MPEG-4/2 decoder whereas the other is 
to implement the full hardware based MPEG-4/2 decoder ,   i think it's always 
better to have 100% hardware based 
decoder from performance point of view , i dont know what are the advantages of 
using a software based MPEG-4/2 decoder on the top of DSP processor ..........

i would be really grateful if  you guys can provide your opinions and imputs in 
this regard 

  
warm regards,
Prashant Desai
