How much would it take for "SD and USB in, HDMI and SPDIF out, H.264 and some standardized audio codecs, perhaps even some lossless, in MPEG4 TS format on a FAT32 file system" to become a de-facto standard?]]>Nov 11th 2008 8:42AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/11/2wires-mediapoint-hd-streamer-box-is-special-just-like-everybod/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/11/2wires-mediapoint-hd-streamer-box-is-special-just-like-everybod/Nov 11th 2008 10:24AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/11/2wires-mediapoint-hd-streamer-box-is-special-just-like-everybod/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/11/2wires-mediapoint-hd-streamer-box-is-special-just-like-everybod/
MKV might be part of it. I'd like to see something like MKV + [MPEG4 Parts 2 and 10 and Ogg Dirac at 480/576/720/1080i/p/24/25/30/50/60] + [FLAC 5.1 and MP3 and DD5.1 and DTS] + HDCP become a defacto standard. If someone can add a kind of open source Advanced Content system to MKV (something easily implementable using components from Mozilla or Webkit), then you've got a format anyone can implement and that can do virtually everything HD DVD or Blu-ray could. Except the boxes will be dirt cheap, you'll be able to integrate everything from day one (HD DVD's promise but it didn't live long enough), and online download purchases will be possible also from day 1.

What we lack is a standard.]]>Nov 11th 2008 10:39AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/11/2wires-mediapoint-hd-streamer-box-is-special-just-like-everybod/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/11/2wires-mediapoint-hd-streamer-box-is-special-just-like-everybod/Nov 11th 2008 7:05PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/11/2wires-mediapoint-hd-streamer-box-is-special-just-like-everybod/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/11/2wires-mediapoint-hd-streamer-box-is-special-just-like-everybod/Nov 11th 2008 9:20AM
