I sort of feel >that JPEG and MPEG hardware is going to be more widely accepted. DVI technology has been available for almost two years. The MPEG standard for digital video is still one or two years away from being formally adopted. Also, Intel has announced that they will provide MPEG compatability by the mid 90's. I wouldn't call DVI dated - it's just maturing faster then MPEG. Intel has received criticism for not waiting for the MPEG standard. Some people feel Intel is attempting to force a defacto standard on the industry by beating the standards to the market. However, even though the DCT based methods are theoretically superior; Intel has a viable product whose time has come. They can't really be expected to wait for the standards commitee?
