 | | From recent media reports, I glean the following: MPEG-4 is about to reach a stage of maturity that a single consistent licensable version will be implementable across computing platforms and appliance devices (eg disk players). |
 | | Sony and others in their camp have announced details of the blue laser disk system with standard density capacity of 27G and a double density variant - which I presume applies the ML ENDEC to the blue laser system - of 50G (per side!!!). |
 | | Now, MPEG-4 at standard resolution is supposed to give about comparable image quality (compressionist skills being equal) to DVD at a lower data rate (AIUI, and I can't remember where I got it, it's about 25% less but I could be mistaken). |
