Assuming this is a typical length 1h40m movie, 24 GiB works
out to 34359738 bits/second. That is the average, the peak
rate is likely to be higher. That is twice the bitrate of
high bitrate OTA HD in the US (some stations reduce the bitrate
to make room for additional subchannels), and H.264 is a LOT
harder to decode than OTA's mpeg2.
Peter's AMD64 3200+ can't decode mpeg4 in real time. (bitrate?)
Even Attila "decode it in software" Kinali admits that a
AMD64 3700+ isn't fast enough to decode H.264. (bitrate?)
So what is the solution?
1) fully decode in TRV(sp?) chip?
adds complexity, chip takes longer to design
2) partly in CPU, partly in TRV chip?
from previous discussion, this may be difficult
or impossible?
3) wait for AMD to sell a AMD64 30,000+ x16 CPU?
4) wait for TI to sell a faster DSP?
5) find out what the standalone Blu-Ray and HD-DVD
players use, and see if we can use that
6) something else?
