Thanks for the reply, but could you answer a couple other things? I'm
not familiar with the Xing Technology encoder, so can you tell me
what kind of compression ratios you're getting? Are there options
to trade off encoding time for higher compression? If so, do you
have a feeling about what the upper end for this compression and
time scale is? Thanks again.
