do we really want anything like this? I have a 1-10
'quality' level.
Not the same thing. I think offline processing allows seek, reverse etc.
I'm not convinced..
it allows more than that. it means "you are no longer subject to RT
constraints." this is a binary decision, not subject to
gradation. once RT constraints are gone, you are free to do whatever
you want. quality levels are orthogonal to this.
