I think that the first-generation home DVD player wins were not influenced by the price of ZiVA. ZiVA may not have been available (I'm not sure) when these boxes were designed, and because of delays in introduction, they were designed way before they were introduced. Also, the big manufacturers were testing out the chip designs produced by their in-house engineering departments. I believe the second-generation home DVD players will be a different story. PC-DVD is playing out differently from the first generation home DVD designs. The PC-DVD add-in cards are made by smaller companies which do not have the capital or experise to develop their own MPEG2 chips, so they have to buy them.
