Hello :-)
I think you all wrote about MPEG4 ASP. When talking about HDTV, we are talking about DVB-S2 (not receiveable with current cards) and MPEG4 AVC alias H.264 which is far better than MPEG4 ASP. I made some tests by deinterlacing and downscaling an Euro1080 sequence to 1280x720 (720p) as this is a resolution a PC running at 3 GHz is able to play without interruptions. At 4 MBit/s encoded with Nero Digital AVC, the image is amazing and far better than with DivX 5.x, WMV 9 and even better than DivX 6. IMHO, this time you can really say that you only need half the bitrate of MPEG-2. Read some more information on MPEG4 AVC (and a codec comparision) on Doom9.org (esp. the MPEG4 FAQ in the message board).
I haven't read anything right now : it is possible to encode with mpeg-4 AVC/H.264 High on a linux amd64 (without emuling 32 bits) right now ?
Thank you very much for the tips !!!
