Thanks for the files they look great.

I'm a little disappointed that QT 7 doesn't use the graphics card as a hardware decoder to enable us folk with lowly PowerBooks to playback HD video better.

You know, i actually thought qicktime 7 was going to do that. I mean, when they mentioned core video i thought video intensive stuff was going to use the GPU and not CPU...Sadness...But you know what? I will keep my head up and move on.
 
Since my lowely 550MHz G4 would kill itself if I tried to encode an H.264 file, would somebody be willing to do this? What I'd love to see if how H.264 goes up against regular MPEG4 for non-HD kinds of stuff.

Like, take a 20 second clip from a DVD or another decent quality source, size it to around 320x240, and encode the same clip in both MPEG4 and H.264. I'm curious to see how much advantage H.264 would give when it comes to keeping good quality video at a lower file size.
 
Is there any non-HD H.264 content out there? My slow iBook G4 800Mhz refuses to play the HD stuff but I should be able to play lower quality H.264, right?
