The Slingbox challenge: Place-shift my media but with a better CODEC
November 10, 2006
Benjamin J. Higginbotham

I have had a Slingbox for a long time and now that Sling Media has the new Slingbox Pro with an HD input, I'm thinking of upgrading. I was hoping that the maximum resolution would have increased to something above the 640x240 (originally 320x240) maximum, and it did but only to 640x480. 640x480 is about acceptable for Internet video, but the CODEC they went with can be improved upon. For reasons I don't totally understand Sling Media decided to stick with the Microsoft VC1 CODEC for streaming. I can get much better results with h.264 or even On2's VP7!
