There isn't much that they can do with the core codec itself although they may put some effort into getting the most out of bitrate control using multi-scene/mutli-pass encoding techniques.  But the bottom line is this is just a vehicle for Technicolor to sell encoding services.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[earthling]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 27th 2006 10:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Thomson introduces TIGER AVC encoder for HD DVD and Blu-ray]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/26/thomson-introduces-tiger-avc-encoder-for-hd-dvd-and-blu-ray/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/26/thomson-introduces-tiger-avc-encoder-for-hd-dvd-and-blu-ray/</guid><description><![CDATA[Obducat and Thomson have a joint development program in which Obducat technology will be used.
