	We are still working on generating a Pixlet sample (and getting 
closer). Meanwhile, here is an interesting tidbit from a forum
discussion on BBC Dirac:

"Pixlet was only intended for interchanging HD 720p video, not for
distribution at low/medium bit rates. The Apple hype department blew
Pixlet's importance completely out of proportion. Its target user group 
is very limited."
