I look forward to the day Chinese company buys e-on a e-frontier and sack the American programmers and put programers in who no how to do compression, some thing American commercial programmers have never been able to do for 30 years.
I remember 30 years ago and even later at computer trade shows the American software houses stated, that the American games players can afford to keep upgrading hard drives, and if compression used game would take up less hard drive and memory, and American games public wont buy games.
So while British programmers led way in compression other programmers from other country's followed us, but not yanks as seems compression to advanced for their commercial programmers.
So give vue and poser to foreign programmers who no how to use pc memory and compres.
