I checked it this morning and it had the date as March. Now it has been changed to April. I thought they wanted to close end March to get a clean cut - q end etc. Is there any market effect due to this? 2. Q: When do you anticipate the completion of the merger and spin off? A: We anticipate that the Semiconductor Division will spin off and DiviCom will merge with Harmonic, Inc. in April of 2000. The first question is interesting too. It says approximately 1 share of new Cube. Any guesses as to why? 1. Q: What, as a shareholder, do I receive from the proposed DiviCom/Harmonic merger and spin off? A: For each share of CUBE, shareholders at the close of the deal will receive 0.5427 shares of HLIT and approximately 1 share of the new company, which consists of the assets of the Semiconductor division. c-cube.com

DiViT, No doubt lack of real-time encoding puts a damper on things.. but realistically, Ligos gets "good" quality MPEG-2 encoding on a Pentium III 600 Mhz computer. When you throw in SSE2 and 1.4 GHz Willemette, real-time encoding goes to very high quality. The application I'm thinking about is video archiving... I don't need real-time encoding if I'm just going to archive my DV tapes onto S-VCD MPEG-2 CD-Rs. But you answered my question regarding software vs hardware... depends on how the software is designed. Thanks.
