re: Katmai; The software still needs to be written... news.com "But Katmai processors do not perform these functions automatically. Software developers have to write their applications to recognize the instructions. Software vendors will only adopt these instructions over time, and then only some will take advantage of them, said Glaskowsky and others." It'll take at least a year before we see a product with software encoding using Katmai instructions. Then we need to see systems built around it and then those systems have to compete with an application specific solution. Also the Katmai CPU has to also simutaneously encode while decoding and cost less than $50. Maybe they can license C-Cubes patented Encoding algorithm.

First Dream Works DVD title to be released. That covers all studios, everybody's in......................................... hollywoodreporter.com Spielberg OKs 'Zorro' for DVD Steven Spielberg's anti-DVD armor has developed its first crack. After much badgering and cajoling, Columbia TriStar Home Video has managed to get Spielberg to agree to the release of a DVD version of "The Mask of Zorro," from Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment Prods. Amblin spokesman Marv Levy said that the approval can be read as a signal that Spielberg is becoming more receptive to releasing more of his movies on the digital video platform. "It certainly opens the door," he said, noting that the next likely titles would be new releases and older movies that are not among his catalog of blockbusters. Amblin and Spielberg's DreamWorks SKG studio are the only entities that have yet to embrace the digital DVD video platform.
