In case if you don't know, weight-p will be available soon (hopefully), and according to Dark Shikari on the SoC page, it has the "potential to significantly improve encoding quality"

I want to ask a question. BD specs say the video needs 4 slices. When they refer to slices, do they mean the multithreading technique? If it is, I thought at 4 slices, PSNR is already -1dB?

BTW, lyris, you're the man. Thanks for doing this for us. I'm curious of how a $3000 (!!!) software compare with x264. If you don't mind asking, does the company provide you with software, or do you have to pay for the software yourself?
