RE: [M4IF Technotes] Re: [M4IF News] MPEG special in EE TimesOlivier,
don't get me wrong, I don't intend to handle backward compatibility. This is
not my agenda. I don't even build set-top boxes.
I only talked to people who are discussing those issues. The conclusion for
use of technology within a STB may be influenced by
a number of arguments, some of them are more of a marketing character.
Again, this is not my position, but I learn about the existence of those
positions, and I thought that I should share that with you.

  Dear Klaus,
    that's all very true. However, as we have already experienced during the
MPEG standardisation work, there are sometimes arguments that lie outside
the technical spectrum. Those "marketing" arguments are sometimes hard to
understand or overcome. In essence, there maybe uses of the MPEG-4
technology that neither you nor I have anticipated in the first place.
    This is as well very true and I am therefore very interested in learning
about these arguments, as well as about the technical aproach.
    In addition, I have a couple of question. How you will handle backward
compatibility with the already deployed STB that are MPEG-2 based ?
    Kind regards,
    Olivier
