I recently read the article on INTEL's DVI  (digital video interactive)
chipset in the Wall Street Journal.  I'm a software developer and am VERY
interested in this kind of thing for an animation, presentation and video
editing system design I'm working on.  I've got a very well thought out design
that's basically been waiting for the right hardware.

If there's someone out there from Intel that can give me more info on the
DVI cards and chipset I would really be interested.  I might also want to
get a development card and work on some applications.

My primary questions are:

Can you do real time compression and expansion of video?  So a fast computer
with a big hard disk could be used like a VCR to record live video (to be
edited).

How good is image quality?  As good as a home VCR?  Broadcast quality?

How can someone get a development card?

Could the hardware be used to compress frames drawn in computer memory?  Ie:
so you could draw a frame at a time, compress and store it, then play it
back in real time?  (for use in creating animation)

If you have information on the DVI card...please contact me...I have experience
in Radio/TV production, Computer applications (16 years), Game design and
industrial process control.
