[MPlayer-users] how to "step backforward" ?

Often it's done over fiberchannel SANs, or just off big SATA raids 
internally. The video standard for transporting it down coax is HD-SDI.

Not often! There are a few applications that use MPEG-2, but all kinds of 
codecs are used in film and TV postproduction. It's not terribly uncommon 
for HD to be postproduced as uncompressed, even if it was captured on a 
compressed tape format. Sometimes it's recorded like this on film sets to 
disk arrays.

Ironically, mplayer doesn't tend to support the codecs used to put 
uncompressed data in AVIs, because they're often 10-bit (r210 for 4:4:4 RGB 
and v210 for 4:2:2 YUV).

But we're wandering off topic.
