A ZiVA daughter card could be big, but the size of the customers will determine that. Toshiba already is putting a ZiVA chip on a laptop motherboard that doesn't have a DVD-ROM drive included. DVD chip(or maybe solution) sales will be larger than DVD-ROM drive sales.

The daughter card also reduces the BOM for OEMs. $25 and you get great quality Audio/Video decode, your 300MHz Pentium II doesn't choke, and it doesn't even take a slot in your PC. I wonder what Zoran charges for softDVD?
