Quicktime MPEG4
Anyone have any info (or thoughts) on when the Sorenson MPEG4 codec for quicktime will come out?
I know there have been beta's flying around the web for what seems like a year or so now...
Last I saw it was a few months ago when Phil demo'd it at a Quicktime Conf.
Do you think Apple will make a big deal out of it and just include it as part of Quicktime 6?

BTW, I am using Sorenson 3.1 Pro and Cleaner 5.1 and the compression is very very good--a far better improvement and way faster encoding times.
I was shown MPEG 4 and 2 when I went to the NAB in Vegas this year. That was over 6 months ago.
What the hell is taking them so dang long?
I hope they will have the 'official' MPEG 4 along with somekind of "high" and "low" qualities as well (that can compete with the Real, WIMP, and DiVX implementations of MPEG4. As is, the pure MPEG 4 spec has, yes, great quality to bandwidth ratio... but Real, MS, and DiVX beat it to a pulp (albeit at not so great quality).
