Responding to the following:

"It is also no secret anymore that Commodore is going to fully adopt
the MPEG standard for full-motion video, so where does this fit in?  Do
you think Commodore is going to build MPEG decompression capabilities
into the chipset, or will they merely include an MPEG chip with Amiga
systems?  (Just as good, but somewhat less exciting)"

Well it's too late for Commodore to become the first. The Macintosh OS is
the first to have JPEG and MPEG compression/decompression built in (in the
File Manager level, so present applications work with it). :-)
