    WMP is supposedly much less computationally expensive.

      Usually better compression is achieved with the tradeof of being more computationally intensive. It's one that we should all be happy to make since processing power is still getting cheaper.

        Yes, but if better compression can be achieved with smarter algorithms that are less computationally intensive, that is a plus.

        And while it's fine to say PCs would have no problems with it, people with digital cameras would certainly prefer one that is less computationally intensive for longer battery life/cheaper cameras.

          Computation speed is an issue, but they only have to optimize it for a 8085/Z80 cpu, that is, work reasonable on it - then they don't have a problem
          With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

            For digital cameras, more computational complexity = more powerful CPUs = lower battery life & higher costs...
