Exactly... and how much functionality we would add to the silicon in
successive generations of our chips.

Without causing too much distraction, it would be wise to develop or
adapt a full MPEG codec to run on OGD1.  TRV10 may not have room for
it, but fabricating TRV10 is going to be dependent in part on sales of
OGD1, so we need to offer many more uses for this hardware.
