Streaming DVD Video over the Internet

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-what-I'm-talking-about dept.

Sexy Commando writes "According to this article on ZDNet, the new codec, H.264, is able to stream DVD quality video using bandwidth as little as less than 1Mbps. The new codec requires 3 to 4 times as much CPU power than MPEG-2 to process the video. Now we can have two movies on 1 CD. Cheers."
