Shouldn't meeting performance goals consistently insure credibility ? Cube seems to consistently meet performance standards, and on time. As the below press release seems to show. Now I know that when we talk about how the market translates this into the price of Cube's stock is not necessarily relevant. But, I believe that when you talk about sh-t or cream it will eventually float to the top. ( I hope :-) C-Cube Delivers DVD Recording and Playback to Consumer PCs Industry Rallies Around First MPEG-2 Consumer Codec MILPITAS, Calif., - November 2, 1998 - In a striking move to enable industry-wide adoption of DVD-quality video recording at consumer price points, C-Cube Microsystems (Nasdaq: CUBE), today introduced DVxploreTM, the world's first single-chip consumer MPEG-2 and DV codec. <snip> With DVxplore, C-Cube is the first to enable the consumer market for recordable DVD on the PC. Users of personal content creation, PC/TV and DVD-RAM applications will be the first to leverage DVxplore to record hours of DVD-quality video obtained from any video source whether TV, VCR, DV camcorder or analog camcorder. They will also be the first to edit and playback DVD-quality video on standard PCs and then store to DVD disk, web pages, e-mail, CD-R/W or PC hard disk drives. <snip> Market Penetration and Pricing The DVxplore codec is planned to ship to OEMs in Q4 1998. Products based on DVxplore are anticipated to hit the retail market Q2 1999. The codec is priced at $75 in volume.
