MPEG2 is used in ATSC and QAM TV, while H.264 is used for some European HD broadcast, Blu-ray, and... Apple's videos.</p>LeviThu, 19 Feb 2009 01:25:20 -0000http://www.appletvhacks.net/2009/01/20/nvidias-ion-for-appletv/#comment-10418375<p>Looking at Ion looks very codec specific, seems like the content is tweaked for the GPU... wonder how it would play on CURRENT AppleTV content let alone 1080p</p>NPSFri, 23 Jan 2009 19:24:59 -0000http://www.appletvhacks.net/2009/01/20/nvidias-ion-for-appletv/#comment-10418374<p>Wouldn't think so. It took them months to convert their files to 720p. Don't think they'll go through the hassle again to have the content 1080p.</p>The DudeThu, 22 Jan 2009 16:08:27 -0000http://www.appletvhacks.net/2009/01/20/nvidias-ion-for-appletv/#comment-10418373<p>@Dude<br>Yes, but they may decide to sell full HD?</p>markoThu, 22 Jan 2009 07:56:38 -0000http://www.appletvhacks.net/2009/01/20/nvidias-ion-for-appletv/#comment-10418372<p>Sorry guys, I just can't see this happening. Apple has no interest whatsoever to boost 1080p performance in ATV. And why should they?!</p><p>Apple of course only wants to promote their own itunes content, which is only 720p. There's really no point for Apple creating a playback capability for content they don't sell themselves.</p>The DudeTue, 20 Jan 2009 16:56:34 -0000http://www.appletvhacks.net/2009/01/20/nvidias-ion-for-appletv/#comment-10418371<p>Boxee/Xbmc/etc would still not use the GPU, since they software decode. MKV and such would still suck :(</p>fernandoTue, 20 Jan 2009 06:53:36 -0000http://www.appletvhacks.net/2009/01/20/nvidias-ion-for-appletv/#comment-10418370<p>That should be seem, not seam.</p>daveMon, 19 Jan 2009 23:00:47 -0000
