CableCARD is about security not codecs. So for example the TiVo's chip can decode MPEG-4 and has a CableCARD so it should be ok as long as TiVo's software supports MPEG-4. Bottom line is it is depending on the hardware, but yeah there are 3rd party CableCARD devices that support MPEG-4. (like Windows 7 Media Center for example).]]>Jun 19th 2010 9:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/comcast-to-roll-out-more-mpeg-4-starting-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/comcast-to-roll-out-more-mpeg-4-starting-with-3d/
You won't be completely happy with the change either of course, since MPEG-4 (really AVC or MPEG-4 part 10) streams have larger GOPs (longer time to recover from errors) and longer DPB delays (longer time to play after doing FF or REW).]]>Jun 18th 2010 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/comcast-to-roll-out-more-mpeg-4-starting-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/comcast-to-roll-out-more-mpeg-4-starting-with-3d/Jun 19th 2010 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/comcast-to-roll-out-more-mpeg-4-starting-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/comcast-to-roll-out-more-mpeg-4-starting-with-3d/Jun 19th 2010 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/comcast-to-roll-out-more-mpeg-4-starting-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/comcast-to-roll-out-more-mpeg-4-starting-with-3d/Jun 19th 2010 9:18PM
