If there will be a MVPversion 2 , I guess we are assuming that it will be the MPEG 2 encoding equivalant. If it is based on E4, the "Black box " (if it takes the black box form that the MVP did), will require more storage (4X) and will also play a big part in playback (decoding)
Data rates will be in the 3-10 Mb/sec range (DVD standard). Authoring DVD and formating for recording on a CD or DVD is a huge software issue.

As far as storage goes, where are people going to get full rez source? DVC?? Recording DirectTV? HD tv??
The point is on a DVD recordable you can capture 2 hours of full res or 8 hours of SIF (VHS). (Kind of like the LP SLP mode on a vcr now except it would now be called mpeg 1 or mpeg 2)

Tape defeats the purpose of the Random Access and form that is the advantage of DVD.

I dont know where the E4 chip will turn up. Definately in the DVD VCR, but who knows how it will take shape in the pc world. Probably in many .
