16. Is Road Runner "video on demand" for viewing movies, etc.? No. Only brief video will be built into Road Runner web pages at first--probably not much more than 30 seconds. While the system can pump out digital video pretty fast, users' PCs have a limited ability to process it. pathfinder.com@@@glbZAUAw9cOw*aW/rdrun/press/general-faq.html More info quoted from their site: A number of factors determine the speed of the data as it goes from the cable company's servers to the customer's computer. The cable modem delivers up to 27 Mb/s over the network, but the device with the slowest throughput along this path determines the effective speed. Typically, this is the PC bus and/or video display. For example, a top-of-the-line Pentium will receive data in excess of 4 Mb/s. Road Runner can deliver up to 10 Mb/s to a computer through the 10base-T Ethernet interface, depending on the cable modem used for the connection. Anyone have any technical input on where this technology might go and where MPEG hardware fits in?
