Yes. The quality of the encoded video to the eye is an art. The math is easy, but the math alone doesn't produce quality. One point that you haven't touched on, C-Cube is also a software company. C-Cube's algorithms, and systems software is what sets them apart in the quality department. It takes both silicon and software to make encoder/codec/decoder chips and systems.

In the VCD market, a number of decorders had problems playing back some discs. It is more likely that C-Cube's error correction was superior, than that they played tricks with the encoder chips. Vendors won't want their discs returned, because they wouldn't play. Vendors set the specs on the encoder when they make a disc.
