Unfortunately, there's just not anything out there. The available chips are so expensive that an encoder using them would have to sell for around $50,000. Since there are already encoders in that range (Tandberg, Envivio, NTT) we don't see much point in creating another one. Sony is known to have an inexpensive (relatively) HD chip, but they won't sell it to anyone else. We are not big enough to develop our own processors, so until one of the big chip companies makes something, we are stuck. Mike Eric,

Both formats (Blu-Ray & HD-DVD) support mpeg-2, and the chipsets should be relatively cheap (since they've been on the market for a long time and are used widely). Just because a product doesn't support every flavor under the sun doesn't mean it's not a valuable and useful product. The current Wired Inc Media Press doesn't create files in QuickTime, Flash, WMV, H264, or other formats, but that doesn't mean it isn't an incredibly useful product that is needed by many people. The Mac market needs a real-time hardware hi-def encoder (not to mention a refresh of the Media Press X to work in the new Intel Mac Pro boxes). I'd buy one of each! Please!

Back when the discs were proposed, memory was expensive and flash non-existent. Now we have a glut of flash products with lower and lower prices. I think SD is a little too small. People will lose them. Maybe CF or some other "Movie Flash' format will work better. Something along the size of the Memory Tapes on Star Trek. Mini-disc sized. That’s a great idea.

No scratches, tiny package, no moving parts. 4 GB cards retail for $30 and an 8 GB card will be $30 in a year from now. Discs suck... I want my movies on an SD card.
