Not true; at the MultiMedia Expo at San Francisco in November two vendors
showed full motion digital video in a window on the Mac using JPEG
compression.  Thirty frames per second from the hard disk, being decompressed
and displayed in real time.  The C-Cube chips are capable of compression
and decompression at 30 fps.
