Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what kind of quality the DVD player is in the new powerbooks? Does it output "progessive scan"?

Actually, I'm curious about the quality of the DVD player also. For instance, in Tiger, H.264 has been implemented in QuickTime. According to Apple's website, H.264 is described as:

H.264 uses the latest innovations in video compression technology to provide incredible video quality from the smallest amount of video data. This means you see crisp, clear video in much smaller files, saving you bandwidth and storage costs over previous generations of video codecs...H.264 achieves the best-ever compression efficiency for a broad range of applications, such as broadcast, DVD, video conferencing, video-on-demand, streaming and multimedia messaging.
So does this mean that in the very near future that we'll get Apple's DVD player in H.264 format?
