Video and/or audio processing

One or more computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by a programmable device, causes a the device to execute requesting of digital video data wherein the digital video data has one pixel or line resolution of at least 720 and the other pixel or line resolution greater than 576;

• compressing the digital video data to produce compressed digital video;
• and transmitting and/or storing the compressed digital video data.

A device for producing video data comprising:

• a digital serial interface for receiving digital video data wherein the digital video data has one pixel or line resolution of at least 720 and the other pixel or line resolution greater than 576;
• and
• a processor configured to structure digital video data, received via the digital serial interface, in a stream format and/or a file format.

One or more computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by a programmable device, causes a the device to execute requesting of compressed digital video data wherein the digital video data has one pixel or line resolution of at least 720 and the other pixel or line resolution greater than 576;

• decompressing the digital video data to produce compressed digital video;
• and displaying the decompressed digital video data.

A transportable storage medium storing at least 5 Gb of compressed digital video data wherein decompression and playback of the compressed digital video data results in DVD quality video having one pixel or line resolution of at least 720 and the other pixel or line resolution greater than 576.

A device comprising an encoder configured to encode digital video data having one pixel or line resolution of at least 720 and the other pixel or line resolution greater than 576 at a rate of approximately 0.1 Gbps per GHz of processor speed to produce encoded digital video.

A device comprising a decoder configured to decode encoded digital video at a rate of 0.4 Gbps per GHz processor speed, wherein the rate is based on a final video display format and wherein the final display format has one pixel or line resolution of at least 720 and the other pixel or line resolution greater than 576.
