    So, did anyone else notice that it is 1/4th of a 1080p frame? (1/2 width and height)

    Odd.

    Yep, that's the same resolution that HD discs allow when a Bluray PC player is connected to a non-HDCP display.

    What was wrong with MOV?

    Also why 540p? Thats like the ginger kid of 1080i

    Currently this new 'standard' is sounding unnecessary.

    @deanbmmv: MOV is just a container, like AVI, MKV and so on. You have to put some sort of video (In this case h.264) and audio (AAC) into it.

    @deanbmmv: It's more then a container, it's a branding and fixed settings of the H.264/AAC codecs. Devices and software can say they are iFrame compatible to help avoid confusion on if something will work with something else.

    If it works or not, only time will tell. Basically think of it like MP3. That name became the easier way of knowing if something worked with MPEG1 Layer 3 Audio encoded at a constant bitrate up to a maximum of 320kbit. #iframevideo

    Personally, I think there nothing better in quality and file size (when comparing bitrate,fps and image size) than good'ol MPG2.

    Isn't the question whether this really is a new standard that Apple just "made up", or because it is based on other industry standards does that make it an industry standard by default? Confused yet? I am.

    Alright, I posed this question on the engadget story as well, but you gizmodoians are generally a bit more.. intelligent. Anyone know if there's an adapter that can go from one of those mini PCIE SATA SSD's for Eee PC's to a normal PCIE x1 or normal desktop SATA? (long story, but basically My fiancee's brother ordered the wrong part and we didn't notice the word "mini")

    In reply to Apple's Mini DisplayPort Will Be Official Part of DisplayPort 1.2 Specification
    Don't hold your breath. If the displayport standard hasn't been adapted yet, it probably won't. It seems HDMI is becoming the HD output of choice for the moment. The biggest problem with displayport.. short cable runs.

    @KLanD: Rumor has it that Dell is also adopting displayport for their Adamo laptop. HDMI is a format of choice for TV peripherals, but HDMI will be a dongle-hungry format when you consider the lower end computer monitor crowd, which will likely not adopt HDMI from top to bottom. With Displayport being an open format, as opposed to HDMI, which is a fee-based proprietary format, I'd say that Displayport is the one to go with.

    @KLanD: Just curious, but why? As far as I can tell, after living with a magsafe-equipped machine for over 3 years, I see no notable detriments, but see a great deal of pluses over standard plugs. You will never be able to yank a macbook off a table by its power cable.

    @zero411: Maybe it means something like exploding outward instead of being an isolated, Mac-only video option. Even if it is "proprietary", if it's a freely licensed option, I guess that makes it a bit hotter than it would be if otherwise.
