said by Mike Wolf:aw that's too bad, was hoping everything was MPEG4 in 2013.
Wish they would hurry up already.
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...
I think having a channel fully MPEG4 would be worth the subscription alone.
Why??? Until CC actually starts to offer HD channels (only) in MPEG4, they will have to keep transcoding them down to MPEG2.
