MPEG foresees further proliferation of high definition video content with resolutions beyond today’s HDTV resolutions of 1980 × 1080 pel. While storage of such video content on solid-state discs or hard discs will not pose a very challenging problem in the future, the distribution of these signals over the Internet, Blu-Ray discs or broadcast channels will, since the expansion of the infrastructure is always an expensive and slow process.
