Improving MPEG-2 compression makes so much sense that one has to wonder how
anyone would fail to get it.
In the US, the reason is obvious. In Europe, where SD and HD have to be
simulcast, and where SD must continue to be broadcast using MPEG-2, it makes
even more sense. So how Craig misses this is beyond comprehension.
The plain fact is, MPEG-2 compression is still improving, and that can only be
good news. And this has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not H.264 or
other newer codecs are used, where it makes sense to use them.
