Elmer - Re: "Wasn't the K7 Godzilla demo at Comdex a DVD app?"

Yes - but that was a DVD/MPEG PLAYBACK - DECODE - application.

Decoding MPEG 2 is much, much easier than REAL TIME ENCODING - that is, CREATING the COMPRESSED MPE FILE - an MPEG file.

Thus, the K7 did it - as can any Pentium II or Celeron of reasonable speed.
