Are you saying there is no latitude for creativity and quality distinction in an MPEG encoder? That once a firm produces a "legal" MPEG encoder, then that firm's bit stream is the same as another firm's bit stream AND regardless of what brand decoder is used the quality of the final product will be the same?

It states very clearly in CUBE's prospectus that there is quite a bit of latitude for distinguishing the quality of an encoder.

Again, if CUBE owns 70% of the encoding market, is it possible that CUBE keeps the "best" code of the encoder for itself and, voila, CUBE's decoders just seem a little clearer?

I think this is very possible - if not probable.
