Microsoft has developed a new video compression that can show high quality HD video at bitrates similar to current DVD's (between 5-8mbps) - samples can be seen here;

http://windowsmedia.com/9Series....Quality

"This technology is causing some excitement, as the T2: Extreme Edition DVD package will include a DVD containing T2 in HD, compressed with this technology. Anyone with a fast PC will be able to watch T2 in high def, no pricey blue laser player required."

Does look good :thumbs:

though the quality may be an improvement over regular dvd, this is not something to settle for hd-dvd. Even on a monitor you can see an imperfect picture... nice move on MS' part, but I definitely hope this is not all we get in the next few years.

I hope they tone down the edge enhancement on the "regular" transfer on this new T2:SE. Isn't it ironic that the previous SE was called "Ultimate Edition"?
