Indeed, that's why I used the smiley. Considering the advances in lossy video compression techniques, it is really mindboggling that they are still pushing such an ancient motion compressing technique that does more harm than good when used together with the modern compression techniques, not to even mention that the displays are progressive. I know H.264 supports interlacing, but I'm pretty sure it is there only to please the broadcasters and people processing interlaced video, not for actual efficiency reasons. Well, with digital television standards things change more rapidly than in the analogue age. Once they get HDTV rolling, it may not take too long until 1080p@50fps is technically feasible. Perhaps within 10 years we'll get it through internet -- no DVB cards required. DRM is a bitch though. -- Niko Mikkil?
