[M4IF Technotes] HD decoders?

[Jan Devos]

Ben,
3ivx D4 is capable of handling 1280x720 and 1920x1080 sized footage 
both in the encoder as well as in the decoder.

If you use Simple Profile compliant video you can use both the 3ivx D4 
codec for QuickTime as well as a combination of the 3ivx Video Decoding 
filter, the 3ivx MP4 Media Splitter and the 3ivx AAC Audio Decoder for 
DirectShow.

The QuickTime mp4 parser that Apple currently uses has some problems 
with Advanced Simple Profile video, so you might want to use the 
DirectShow filters for playback or use .mov as the file format instead.
Regards,
Jan
