    If I could afford to buy a copy I probably would. That will probably surprise people who know what a cheap bastard I am, but having used the full version of SP I have to admit it's worth the money for a video geek like me ;) For anyone who wants to go ahead and buy a copy of CCE, you can find both the Basic and SP versions at http://www.visiblelight.com/mall/ManufacturerView.aspx?man=4

    As much as I'd like a full version of CCE SP I can't see me spending almost $2000 for it.

    How much would one have to have to consider them able to afford a $2000 software?:)

    It would take a lot more income than I have. Most people would never consider it worth buying, but since I have somewhat of an addiction to playing with encoders that's not really an issue. Ironically, I may very well be in a position to afford it a year from now, but I'll most likely be working more with Xvid by that time because I plan to have an HDTV and an HTPC for it. Not much point in buying CCE SP if that's the case.

    I've worked with Xvid although I've used DiVx more and the latest upgrades have seen it improved. I started backing up movies with DiVx, I split the movies into two 750 meg files and the qaulity was excellent. I've often wondered just how good it would be at 2 gigs especially since DiVx has a Home theater compliance setting for playing back on standalones that support mpeg 4.

    I think with the increased resolution of HD, MPEG-4 will become the standard for compression. It's already the compression of choice for HD captures. Not too surprising given that HD pictures have a minimum of more than twice the resolution of a DVD, and high resolution HD pictures have 6 times the resolution, so MPEG-2 compression is just too inefficient for practical application. Plus the availability of free encoders that can match commercial encoders makes it an obvious choice for consumers.

    I've been looking into the advances of blu-ray and I noted that Mpeg4 was the format that was chosen for HD. We had a little debate on DRFS in response to a thread I started, about whether or not dual layer will catch on or end up being a "flash in the pan technology," doomed to quickly be replaced by blu-ray. If the price of DL media remains above $5 for much longer that just might happen.
    It should be interesting to see where it will all lead. On a different note my ATI HDTV Wonder is better than I had hoped.

    I wouldn't make any predictions about dual layer, but it's possible that a dual layer disc would be perfect for storing MPEG-4 HD at least until some kind of blue laser burner becomes available. It will be interesting to see what actually happens though.

    Good point, maybe it's where we'll all transition too. You have to know that an eight gig mpeg4 is going to deliver something better than what we have now. In regards to blu-ray, it's already available for purchase in Japan, at a whopping $4000. I think I'm going to have to wait a while for the price to drop. LOL

    The problem with Blu-Ray is that it's not the same blue laser system that was adopted for HD-DVD, but of course Sony plans to use it for the PS3. Fortunately I can build a HTPC that should be able to do everthing I need while the electronics companies fight over who can make the most money off their patents.

    I see your point but the DVD Forum is still looking at blu-ray probably because it has considerable support from other manufacturers. I agree with your HTPC idea, mine is virtually one now but I'm not giving it up for that purpose.
