Could someone in the biz discuss the INTC/Hitachi software and how it might relate to CUBE's decoders and DiVi's boxes. Will hardware beyond the CPU be necessary? Thanks in advance.

It means there could be a rush to redesign those graphics controllers with MCP on-chip (ATI, S3, Trident). Mediamanics and Zorand had are going to have to write software too for their broadcast PC soft-mpeg players. (not needed for current DVD).

For the settop box, it makes those chips with transdecoders much more attractive because now there won't be any compatibility problems.

This could be serious trouble for Bullcansay & company.
