Isn´t it a bit funny, that at the same time while governments are passing new laws to prevent copying, we are handed better and more efficient programs to make our own back-up´s.
Just a thought.

I don't think this MPEG-4 package will come standard with Nero, but more likely a addon that must be purchased. One problem they will face is that Divx and Xvid can be obtained freely on the web, so they will need to come up with a good reason to get people to switch from Divx/Xvid to their codec. The only thing I see different with Nero's codec is that they use an MPEG-4 audio codec, unlike where Divx and Xvid typically rely on some legacy audio codec such as MP3 and in a few cases I've seen: 8-bit telephone quality wave!.

OGG Vorbis audio is also heard in movies.
