I was not aware that they were going to release a SR codec.  thats =
interesting, but its based on h264 which could potentially be problems =
down the road due to patents insanity. still it may be better then =
nothing.

so, will it support alpha channels ?

and have 1 or 2 lower bit rates that would make it easier to handle ?
