C-Cube to China's OEMs: use SVCD... (thus avoiding a VCD/SVCD/CVD war?) Beijing - The Chinese government last week officially announced the final specification for the Super Video CD standard. C-Cube Microsystems, which had pushed a competing CVD standard, said last week that it is now encouraging all of its OEMs to move forward with the government-specified Super Video CD standard format. C-Cube maintains that it is not bitter about the government's decision. The cost of switching from CVD to Super Video CD has been kept to a minimum for system OEMs and CVD title developers, a C-Cube spokesman said. C-Cube's chip set already has built-in support for both 1/2-D1 and 2/3-D1 picture resolutions-the key technical difference between the two incompatible formats. The Super Video CD standard specifies 2/3-D1 resolution; the CVD standard gives authoring companies the option of picking either one. C-Cube is also encouraging authoring companies to drop the usage of a copy-protection feature C-Cube developed for CVD encoding. Copyright ® 1998 CMP Media Inc. techweb.com
