last time i checked - AIC had double the performance of photojpeg 60%- twice as many layers at the same time- and i test up to 32 layers at the same time-

and is critical with hi-def and once you start using more than 6 layers- nothing else works well enough-

and a lot of people are doing this-

the fact that you cant see any difference is a good thing... ( as codec degradation is counter intuitive ... its much harder to encode a poor quality noisy image than a pristine clean one ... the opposite performance expectation to analogue video)

AIC is much much better than dv-pal-
and preserves much more graphics quality-
and dvpal only works at a single image size 720x576 -

but i have been involved in films for a long time, and dv-pal was good enough to broadcast in 1995... when dv cameras first came out -

Some graphic guyz preffer to use apple intermedia codec cause they say it's better, but i see no difference (and there is no difference in catalyst performance)

If i have to use SDI i'm using Image PRO HD or SD

1024x768@75 (best res if U need convert DVI/VGA signal to SDI SD) cause sometimes I must use old MAC based on G5 processor.
