Marty, I disagree with some of the post you copied. I think that CUBE does have a place in HDTV -- its DVx chips are designed to be interconnected to handle HDTV encoding and decoding. It probably won't realize much in HDTV revenues for a while.

Also, the poster said this about CUBE's contribution to PC-DVD: 3) DVD technology in PC. Not so much for the ability to play DVD titles but to utilize the encodong/coding technology to store data.

This comment is clearly wrong. MPEG is a video lossy compression method that takes advantage of the specific characteristics of video signals and human perception of video. Lossy compression cannot be used for data compression, unless you don't care about losing some of the data. CUBE doesn't compete in the data compression market.

CUBE's PC-DVD market is not limited to "DVD" -- it includes any application that may combine MPEG encode/decode with a PC, such as an MPEG player for web video, DSS, PC-settops, and even MVP (unless you want to create a separate category for MVP MPEG1 codecs).

Thanks for copying the post.
