I read an announcement for an MPEG-2 software codec from Heuris, but I hadn't heard of a software based method of producing MPEG-1. This would be new, correct? I always thought MPEG encoding involved hardware. Is this software going to allow the sort of complicated multi-step processing that Chris O'Leary was recently describing, or is it more of a converting device that does everything for you? I'd be very interested in delivering with MPEG vs. cinepak now that QT3 supports MPEG streams; I can't afford more hardware, however. And of course, I'd need to make sure the rotten lowend processors I deliver to can handle MPEG, can I attach a palette to MPEG, blah blah blah I'm working in the stone age and nobody cares, blah blah blah ...
Well Chris, your a v.p. of marketing at Heuris; so where can we go to find out more? Or do you just want to tell us?
