People who have not looked at streaming Quicktime movies using the new H.264 codec are simply stunned at the quality of the image. As a friend of mine recently exclaimed, "I doubled the already-huge movie size and the quality was still as good as watching TV. It's nothing like the streaming video of just a year ago!"
I just visited the Quicktime HD site. Apple is hosting some amazing, gorgeous HD snippets. When will Window's Media Player ever catch up? And what about the really awful Real Player mess?!
Well, my friend is right. The codec is spectacular, even when streaming! I'm confident that Apple will be streaming HD soon...very, very soon! If you haven't checked it out, watch this video stream of the Steve Jobs Keynote announcing the iPod Nano. You will be amazed.
