I would ask to please get for us a decent downscaling
Yes! Better scaling would be good - upscaling as well as downscaling. I don't know if the new codec, now defunct, would have solved the problem - I think it was taken off Liya's latest card and that didn't seem to make much difference to me.
Come to think of it, is there a reason why the 3k versions have to be supplied with the same codecs as the lower res ones? I'd have thought that anybody downloading a card in 3k would be well beyond XP by now. The current version of the software can cope and I can't see it making much difference to the production process, apart perhaps in processor time.
