Thanks. I've used Manzanita's mux in my previous job. Nice product
but expensive. I had asked them about H.264 and VC1 at NAB, but
got a guarded 'maybe'. A big part of their niche is knowing how
to deal with the idiosyncrasies of certain MPEG-2 digital cable
boxes which has got to be shrinking as encoder products get better.
I wonder where they'll go next.

Not hobby level, but a small consulting job that probably won't
support the $4k to $6k price of Manzanita's MPTS products.
