Hehe this is rather a good news. I bet we won't wait for very long before first AVC capable standalones reach stores shelves !

wonder what DRM model they will use? I have searched and havent discovered what DRM implmentation they will use for H.264 delivery. Anyone know?

mpeg-21?
or some proprietary like css+++++.

why should an avc chip use/support any drm? these two things have nothing to do with each other

Does anyone know which H.264 profile(s) this chip supports? Baseline or Main?

IMHO Baseline is worse than MPEG-4 pt.2 so it would be nice if they've gone all the way to Main.

Cheers

some more infos about this can be found here (seems like vc-1 isnt supported, because there are still problems)

You're right, they have nothing to do with each other... but at the same time, just imagine all those corporate big-head pigs trying to find a way to justify their 20 million dollar mansion
