Blah, DAB is MP2 vs AAC for DAB+. I guess that's one advantage of Australia lagging so far behind the rest of the world in radio+TV - I'm pretty sure we went straight to DAB+.
- keeperofdakeys 10y agoExcept that for some reason Australia picked MPEG-2 for our digital TV, and so HD was almost unwatchable. Though it seems we've moved to MPEG-4 now.
- voltagex_ 10y agoIt wouldn't surprise me if we went to MPEG2 because the original subsidised set top boxes were cheaper than the ones that supported H.264. There's some documents available under FOI (posted online) that have some further info on H.264 in digital broadcasts in Australia. Frustratingly, my TV isn't compatible, but a much older set top box (purchased to avoid silly DRM) works fine.
