The Mpeg 4 or any version of HDNET

 

[Hemi 6.1]

Eastern Arc is an all MPEG 4 Service. Since I get HD Net in HD with my 1000.4, I'd say yes .

 

[nakedeye]

Okay so I am not going to miss any HD by going straight Eastern Arc correct?

I've not seen any missing HD channels Yet. A few SD , Like the ALL American Direct DNS stations , They are on the 119.

What is the resolution of the newly converted MPEG4 channels? Is it still 1440 X 1080?

Yes, 1080i channels are still 1440x1080. 720p channels are still 1280x720.

 

[Smith P.]

Yes, 1080i channels are still 1440x1080. 720p channels are still 1280x720.

What this thread is saying is that All HD channels on Dish Network are now MPEG-4, period.

I was tuned to HDNet watching Art Mann Presents when I snapped these:

How did you get it to spell out 'December' in the ts name, BB? Is this in the date code settings?

Should there be any audio improvements with the MPEG-4 conversion too?? I watched parts of Transformers yesterday on HBO HD (300) and compared it to a recording I made from the same channel last week. While I'm no audiophile, it seemed to me that the rear surrounds were more active (or at least more distinct).

There certainly could be. The MPEG-4 codec affects both video and audio.

 

[Smith P.]

"it should be noted that MPEG-4 is a suite of several standards called "parts" and each part is comprised of several profiles"

And the shin bone is connected to the knee bone...

"it should be noted that MPEG-4 is a suite of several standards called "parts" and each part is comprised of several profiles"

What's your point?

We're talking about H.264/AVC, AC3.

 

[Smith P.]

Yes, and there no such "MPEG-4 codec" - audio encoding by AC-3 specs.
You telling same thing by different word, but miss hall's post.

 

[Quantum]

Pfffffffff...

Clear as ever, Smith, P.

H.264/AVC == mpeg4 Part 10 and there are lots of encoders and decoders.

Just come out and say what you mean.

 

[Smith P.]

Ask hall - what he mean by using "The MPEG-4 codec affects both video and audio" words.

 

[cosmo_kramer]

Through my crude searching efforts I see that AC3 is essentially DD 5.1.

Does anyone know if there is there an updated AC3 codec that came along with MPEG-4??

 

[Hall]

From the MPEG group's website, they say that MPEG is "the development of standards for coded representation of digital audio and video".

Is "codec" an improper word ? Maybe... Only you would point it out though. Did everyone else understand what I meant ? I'd venture to say they did.
