They wanted to show off their AVC capabilities (which they should have gotten right in the FIRST PLACE, they botched up MPEG-4 playback so badly, that only MP4V was supported with minimal settings)...that's fine and dandy and all, but notice where they saved the video:
[edited for correction]
/MP_ROOT/100MAsomething/MAQasdfkljas;ljf.mp4
Whatever was displayed, indeed was AVC, but was 10 MINUTES in length. I don't know of any AVC file that tiny that can be D/Led on a 802.11b connection in less than 8 seconds.
What does this mean? They didn't show the movie they downloaded...but a fabricated clip that probably was run through AVIsynth 35 times [or was overly huge with a very high bitrate]
CHEATERS!!! :tired2:
EDIT:
I applaud their decision to support the MP4 container, even if it was limited...but there are TONS of better formats out there, many of which are OPEN source. I don't think I'll live to see the day Sony managers and designers will actually use their brains and not act so cocky.
