re: (Philips too, but since they don't do B frames it doesn't really count).

Can you elaborate on this? It seems to me that most non-professional applications don't need B frames. They probably won't be used in real time applications because of added latency. And if it saves a little on chip cost, it would be a good tradeoff. It looks like the Philips chip may be a serious contender.
