Was down last night, back up now.
First of all, I think it's a great idea to add 1080 at 60p in MPEG-2
compression, because it makes it far more likely to get adopted in countries
that already have HDTV using MPEG-2 compression. So, good for the ITU.
Secondly, I don't really understand Tables 1 and 8-11. What they call "high
level," as opposed to "high progressive," looks an awful lot like 1080 at 60i
to me, including in the number of samples/sec (62.6 Msamles/sec). And yet, they
call this 60 frames/sec, even in a table in which "main level" is shown to
include such options as 720 X 576 at 30 frames/sec.
Something isn't consistent.
Would be nice to see how MPEG-2 compression does with a 1080 at 60p stream
crammed into 19.39 Mb/s. I've heard a lot of people saying that progressive
compresses better than interlace, so the question will be whether it compresses
"better enough" to fit.
