Paul Re "21.5 Million bytes/second!" Precisely! This is a monumental task that can only be solved by effective compression. Whatever happened to the fractal compression algos? My understanding is that most compression algos are assymmetric - i.e. much more CPU horsepower needed on the compression side. I was just wondering whether CPU speeds are now fast enough to solve the problem using software and not dedicated hardware a la Matrox or C-Cube (?). Perhaps there is a beta site where one can try the latest software compression codes?
