Compression: DVI and processor speed

• Intel predicted continuing increases in processor speeds, along with lowering of costs.
• Real-time compression (e.g., RTV) will always yield lower quality than offline, batch compression (e.g., PLV), that can make use of powerful parallel processors.
• More processing and storage is needed to go from one level of quality to the next, namely from that of a VHS tape to that of broadcast quality TV to HDTV.
