Re: [HD] FIOS Moving to MPEG-4 HD

You DID see this at the bottom???

as of 9/16/2008

All this is, is when they started broadcasting the multiplex feeds in HD; those extra HD feeds have been in MPEG4 since day one. (that's why they stated at the end, that (ONLY) the primary E/W feeds would continue to be in MPEG2 HD as well... )

aw that's too bad, was hoping everything was MPEG4 in 2013.
Wish they would hurry up already.
I think having a channel fully MPEG4 would be worth the subscription alone.

Huh??? did you actually read that link, that YOU posted?
ALL HBO/MAX HD feeds ARE in MPEG4 already, & have been since this 2008 posting!
But they ALSO have kept (duplicate) E/W primary feeds of HBO & MAX (4 channels total) in MPEG2 HD as well.
And of course they still have all of the SD feeds of these channels in MPEG2; there's no point in changing those to MPEG4 at this point...

Why??? Until CC actually starts to offer HD channels (only) in MPEG4, they will have to keep transcoding them down to MPEG2.

No, I only posted it in case someone was interested.
