BS, Re: "To date, QUALITY Mpeg2 encoding is one the most complicated algorithms. I've said this before: Quite a few venerable companies (LSI, STS, Sony, Toshiba) have attempted encoding and have either given-up and/or produced an inferior product to C-Cubes. IBM has an encoding solution but it is far more expensive and it is still not the quality of C-Cube's. But please don't take my word for it - confirm it yourself. My point is, CUBE's technology is far enough above their competitors that INTC would have a tough time "going to the marketplace" to buy a less expensive equivalent entre. As far as software encoding: To date, software encoding is extremely problematic at best and plain doesn't work at worst. And it clearly will not work in small hand-held devices for years to come. J. Fied over on the CUBE thread had an inspirational idea: Divicom should sell their patented "best-of-breed" compression algorithms and MPEG2 video networking software to a Qualcom or the like and BINGO! We instantly have "video mobile phones" as a proud new member in the high-tech marketplace." First of all I think you have your MPEG encoding and decoding a tad confused. FYI, some low cost chipsets are now offering a hardwired MPEG decoder as part of an integrated chipset. SIS offers such a chip - just do a search on SIS on this thread and you will find links. Also as MPEG is a standard there is no Quality difference when decoding MPEG 2 streams. Secondly, if you believe Qualcomm could magically have a mobile video phone by buying some technology from Divicom - I suspect that you have something to learn about BANDWIDTH on a mobile phone. Your enthusiasm is great- shame about the details. Regards, Kash Johal.
