At the current stage of development, I never understood why mpeg4 is still around. CDs and DVDs are so cheap nowadays, there is no reason to give up quality for size.
You ask the financial department of the broadcasters :) If they can get away with paying for half the transponder capacity by broadcasting in MPEG4 instead of MPEG2 I think they will have a strong case =)
EURO1080 is already going this direction: http://www.euro1080.tv/mpeg4.htm
Uh, great. So HDTV is basically dead before it gets a head start in Europe. That's just fantastic. Well, at least now I know that I'm not going to buy one of their subscription packages. They probably expect their viwers to be watching their shows on 36 cm TVs ;o((. Sorry about the rant.
