Corey, curious on your thoughts....

JPEG 2000 (http://www.jpeg.org/JPEG2000.html)

Not too sure what I think of "it". I have heard that wavelet technology is an amazing answer to all things audio/visual but I have yet to really see any revolutionary products emerge.

Bottom line for me is that I wouldn't use it unless it's backward compatible to version 3+ browsers, which I doubt it will be... For me the main thing I always focus on is, "What things can I use to communicate my message to the broadest possible audience." I never use new technology in my designs. /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif

I'm still exporting some flash movies as version 4. /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif

BTW I should have asked, what do you think of it AGRO?

I really don't know.

If you read all of the parts that they are talking about:

Part 1, Core coding system (intended as royalty and license-fee free - NB NOT patent-free)
Part 2, Extensions (adds more features and sophistication to the core)
Part 3, Motion JPEG 2000
Part 4, Conformance
Part 5, Reference software (Java and C implementations are available)
Part 6, Compound image file format (document imaging, for pre-press and fax-like applications, etc.)
Part 7 has been abandoned
Part 8, JPSEC (security aspects)
Part 9, JPIP (interactive protocols and API)
Part 10, JP3D (volumetric imaging)
Part 11, JPWL (wireless applications)

The bold type above do have me curious.

-------It all sounds like, well....... I would like to see it before I swear by it.
For what I do now I don't see a need for it. But ya never know???

[Corey]

Yeah, the concept seems sound enough, I guess we'll see what emerges...
