*ROTFL* i'm sorry - http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/02/12/145257/MPEG-Continues-With-Royalty-free-MPEG-Video-Codec-Plans
i just hit "send", then went to read slashdot, mindlessly, and, irony of ironies, _guess_ what just got announced by the very MPEG group i just criticised? plans to do a roooyalltyy-freeee version of MPEG-2. ... any SoC vendor want to be in on that, ahead of the game, by implementing it in a suitable GPU, get to market *without* having to spend $50m on a new IC? tough titty - you're all critically dependent on Imagination Technologies and all the other GPU companies, who will make the money INSTEAD of you. if they can be bothered. welcome to proprietary software hell, guys - you walked _straight_ in through the gates, of your own free will. l. _______________________________________________ Celinux-dev mailing list [email protected] http://tree.celinuxforum.org/mailman/listinfo/celinux-dev
