WM 9 is comming along nicely. Have been seriously playing with it. If
the source material is clean and noise free it compresses very well
indeed to 2 mb per second. The pictures look 75% of the original. If
the pictures are slightly noisy or have lots of random detail like
heat haze then the picture is less satisfying.

However, the problem is that 1920 x1080 2mb per second is still not
playable at 25 frames per second on average desktop. My mac G4 800mhz
does about 2 frames per second from these files. Dual 1 GHz PC
struggles to about 15fps.

Give it 2 years and we'll be in business.
