IMHO, the transferring video from a camera relies on
robust constant-rate streaming, since video tapes
has mechanical properties that constrain arbitrary
retransmissions or rate changes.

Its not as latency critical, and thus easier to accomplish,
but still within the RE SG scope.

Lest we confuse...

There is a significant difference between the requirements for transmitting
live video  from a camera in DV vs. transferring recorded video from a
camera.

It is only the live case that is within the scope of problems that is
driving the formation of a new project.

Also I would expect as the HDV or other HD formats evolve that 50 or 100 mbs
variants will emerge.  If you want to do high quality frame accurate editing
of your video you don't really want to capture it in an MPEG format with P
and B frames. You want the original in an all I frame format like DV.  That
takes a lot more bandwidth.

Mike,

I was also add conventional (digital) consumer camcoders to your list.  It
is my understanding that most of these still use DV, which is no where near
as compressed as MPEG-2.  I realize that many camcorder manufacturers are
moving to MPEG compressed format, but there are still a a lot of DV cameras
out there.

It's not inconceivable that you may want to move this content on a home
network without further compression.

In the discussions so far, the digital video has been assumed to either
enter the residence from a service provider or originate in the residence at
a DVD player.  It seems that both cases, at least at present, use compressed
digital video.  Are there applications that involve uncompressed digital
video (or are there expected to be such applications)?
