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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
