True. What would be nice would be a CPU with a built-in DSP, so that the CPU can handle the network stuff and OSD and so on, and the DSP could do the heavy-duty decoding work. I don't suppose Sony would let us borrow their Cell design? What about something a little lighter than Theora? We don't really need that much compression on a 100MBit network. Something like HuffYUV (Lossless, http://neuron2.net/www.math.berkeley.edu/benrg/huffyuv.html) or MJPEG perhaps? Lourens
