Talk:DVB-S2

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Unlike DVB-S, it does not rely on MPEG-2 encoding alone, but allows more advanced encoding, like H.264 (a.k.a. MPEG-4 Part 10 or AVC) or VC-1."

The transmission standard (DVB-S) shouldn't specify anything else except the transmission of an MPEG2-Transport Stream. This transport stream could contain anythin from MPEG2 video/audio packets to MPE (IP data) or H.264, or anything else. H.264 can be transported with DVB-S1, DVB-C, DVB-T and of course DVB-S2, or even completly other way (ASI, on a harddisk, network, ...).


Removed this text as it is not directly related to DVB-S2:

Together with the new modulation, the video codec used has also been changed from MPEG-2 to H.264 (a.k.a. MPEG-4 Part 10 or AVC) and is therefore more bandwidth efficient.
