Re: "What needs to be developed for the image "blockiness" to be eliminated or greatly reduced? HDC" Hi Paul, This might be an over-simplification, but: RE: "I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "BLOCKINESS" Blockiness is impacted by encoding and quality. [Bummer] RE: "JERKINESS" Jerkiness is impacted by CPU. [Go Intel] RE: "I can only assume that BANDWIDTH was and still is the limiting issue" No, not his RE: "the transmitted image/video stream you were viewing was compressed greatly for transmitting over standard dial-up modem connections as well as cable-modems." Bingo. This is it. I agree. How frustrating too. One size fits all streaming. RE: "If your quest is Video Quality on a PC via Internet access, you may have to have your own T1 or T3 connection installed - and I'll bet that even that might not satisfy you." No, I disagree. In fact, a good DSL line can produce some excellent looking video (VHS-quality), if encoded to match the full speed of the DSL connection. Best, Amy J
