[AG-TECH] HD on AG

[Piers O'Hanlon]

Hi Derek,

In principle VIC should be able encode and decode HD video - using one
of the codecs that support such resolutions e.g. H.264 or h261as.

One needs to modify some of the configuration code in VIC to allow
selection of larger resolutions (ie HD one needs something from 720p
(1024x720) upwards). And of course an HD source is necessary. We don't
currently have access to any HD kit so haven't had a chance to work on
it but anyone is welcome to try!

Cheers,

Piers
