DannyAt present, many international chip manufacturers such as ESS, Zoran, luxsonor who proclaim to support SVCD standard have adopted the system-made SVCD sample as their testing reference data during their SVCD system development. Those sample disks have been successively played on SVCD sample machines produced by over ten SVCD manufacture enterprises such as Shinco and Panda. Some important state-level AV publishing house, disk manufacturer, China AV Recording Publishing General House and Chinese Film Gneral Company also said they will use the system to produce SVCD program disk.

>> when is software estimated to take over hardware? is it in 2-3 years?

In the PC market it's this year. In the consumer device market (DVD players, satellite boxes) it may be never. In the emerging hybrid market, devices such as OpenCable settops which include Web browsing and Java may use some amount of software decode. It's too early to call.
