H.264

Update 11/04

A listener named Charles sent in a clip rendered in h.264, at a bit rate of well under 1Mbps! Only eight meg in size for about a two minute clip, but the quality is very impressive. Recent experimenting on my part shows just how amazingly scalable this codec is. I'll have an update on this in the next episode.
