I'm sure about it!! I know Heuris (I was at your booth in NAB) but heuris
is 3500 USD and M-PACK is just around 250 USD!!
If I can get CDROM productions around 10000 USD budgets I will be able to
buy expensive SWs!

The cost of the production tools must be according to the production level!

Astarte is also capable to work with 29.97 and 24fps.. I referred to the
posibility to use half speed settings like 12.5 fps and 15fps to increase
the quality of the images with the same data rate and allow slow machines
to play the stream. Constant 12.5 fps is better than jerky 25fps.
