i mentioned the tivo to answer the transcoding question. currently transcoding is done in software yes? you could do mpeg video in software too, but its done in chips now. my point is that some of the functions that SS does in software that the naysayers say demands what is essentially a full computer, i say could be done by specialized chips. other than transcoding, i admit i don't know what functions u would need a chip for to keep the exp acceptable, but i don't think speed of the search function is a huge deal in this situation, or would be that slow to begin with anyway. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 w/SS 6.5.5 (beta!?) - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43198 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
