Hi guys –

They just offered me a job – it’s Aug 2006 – do you have any idea about their financing and status?

Well I guess it was a hoax. As far as I know the company is now died. With also most no one left on pay role.

Hoax is a stong word. If Qbit can do what they say it would be very interesting. Their site says they can compress any data type.

However there no really numbers on their site, comparing there results to everything else out there.

But hoax, what could the Qbit gain by not telling the truth, if they can’t do what they say people will find out right?

Warning,
This is a hoax. They claim they can do 3 to 5x lossless encoding improvement using interframes,
and 10x lossless using intraframes. Other lossless compressors can do this easily and it depends on
the Source. The only possible market for lossless video compression is Video Editing applications.

Never invest a penny unless you see the test results for
1. Kodak Image Test Set.(Still Images)
2. ISO MPEG2 test sequences (Video)
Take Care
