The only thing I know about the integrated DVD chip is that it is not quite "all in one" -- the Cirrus website talks about interfacing with a third-party micro-controller (the announcement made it sound as if the micro-controller would be somehow taken over by PRML technology). The hard disk product *does* seems to integrate microcontroller-type functionality, so one would expect Cirrus to come up with a true "all-in-one" (except for MPEG2) DVD solution later, although I do not doubt that the DVD product is quite useful as it is.

5 in one chip. Does anyone have more information to the functionality of this chip?

If you want info about functionality, the CRUS web page is a good place to go:

cirrus.com

If it's opinions you want, here's mine. This chip truly is a big step forward. Being first to the market should be a big advantage for CRUS, both in higher profits, and in being designed into drives. This is one place where CRUS has done right.
