From the Peddie report:

C-Cube introduces low cost DVxcel MPEG-2 Codec

new chip built with .22-micron technology builds on DVxplore legacy
introduced at $29
After helping define the market with their early introductions of the DVxplore and DVxpress MPEG-2 chips, C-Cube (Milpitas, CA) has been stuck in the "premium" category as newcomers such as iCompression and Streammaster learn a few tricks and enter the market with lower priced products. Designed for Digital Video Recording (DVR) devices, C-Cube's new DVxcel encodes and decodes MPEG-2 data for DVD/optical disk and D-VHS recorders as well as hard drives.

C-Cube says the trick now is to offer simultaneous encode/decode capabilities at prices low enough for consumer products. Simultaneous encode/decode enables the pause, fast forward, and rewind functions that are becoming required for next generation home entertainment systems. C-Cube says their lengthy experience in delivering products for the professional broadcast market is being put to good use in the development of products for the consumer market. DVxcel uses C-Cube's PerfectView MPEG-2 compression algorithm that first appeared in the DVxpert and DVxpress broadcast and video production products. C-Cube offers VBR (variable bit rate) recording based on their statistical variable bit rate algorithm which balances video quality against low bit rates to get the best video quality possible at low bit rates. C-Cube says their technology enables the DVxplore to optimize the image quality while compressing the video to the required file size.

The DVxcel chip gives users the ability to record at anywhere from 1.8 to10 megabits per second depending on the desired balance of quality and record time. As a result consumers can get the following amounts of data on these media:
