Quite right. I want the ability to transfer footage from my camcorder, perform edits, and create a DVD with menus for viewing on my PC without it being illegal or necessary to pay royalties to use MPEG. Heck, I'd even like to assemble an open-standards player using an EPIA, a DVD drive and GNU/Linux on flash stick. I could design front-panel/IR remote and SCART interfaces to make it usable stand-alone.
