re: PSADBW...........

Yes, the Sum of Absolute Distortions is your friend.

"None of these arguments stopped the software DVD nonsense before the power of the Pentium and hardware acceleration finally caught up."

Ah, but I have yet to see a Pentium 2 based consumer DVD player.
Or a Pentium 2 settop box (OK maybe I stretched that, there is a celery based one somewhere),
or a Pentium based broadcast encoder,
or a Pentium based TransRator...

I'll be damned though, if I'll put anything with a fan in the new media room.

Hey while shopping for the Media Room I saw a Toshiba progressive scan rear projection TV sitting nets to Hitachi's best rear projection (actually 2 dozen different rear projections TVs) and they were hooked up to the same DVD player.
Wow what an amazing. Forget that the MPEG artifacts on the James Taylor DVD were so bad, the Toshiba was amazing. I hear that the Sharp progressive scan looks even better. Hitachi supposed to have their progressive scan out in June.
I'm ready for mine in August.
