Correct me if I'm wrong...

Its a new video codec, otherwise known as MPEG-4 (part 10), that allows for further compression of video at higher resolutions. Meaning you get better video quality with less size. Can't really spout off the technical stuff, but thats about the jest I think.

I read an article about it recently, so I know what it is (a new MPEG-4 video codec), but I can't really tell if all the fuss that ATi, nVidia and a bunch of other companies are making is really justified.

its the new standart for everything video.. All TV, all internet video, all HD DVD stuff, even on mobile devices.
thats why hardware decoding is so important since it would be very cpu intensive.hardware decoding is a must for slow devices.
whoever does it cheapest and best will get loads of deals for PC, mobile devices, TV and DVD recorders and decoders/players etc.

lot of money to be made.

h.264 rules in terms of image quality and it is a new standard for the hi-bitrate and h-resolutions HDTV play and it is very important that the nVidia pure video filters support it as with HW decoding, since it is impossible to be decoded with CPU, when come to full HDTV stream and customer (not extreme overclockers) range of CPU's

PS. I love the image quality

I knew it was some kind of a codec, but I honestly don't know it's significance
