Good:
Do you thing that you will see very many 3rd party manufactures taking advantage of the MPEG2 hardware upgrade?

We have done development and we have a reference daughter card ready with one of the #1 MPEG decoder sellers on the market. At this point in the guideline, all we are going to do is develop new MPEG 2 products, based on customers demands.


Bad:
Do you think that hardware DVD is the way to go as far as video goes?

I think software DVD is going to be more predominate as we look forward. It is virtually free, relative to hardware DVD, and the system CPU performance keeps on going up and up. Software DVD vendors are currently optimizing for pure performance. Quality is already there in software DVD, and I do not see consumers using the DVD as a playback station for high end DVD, you are going to use a console for that. For basic DVD playback, you can do that with software. And because of the price point, I think that it is going to be more popular.
