Since we're talking about video, though, it's worth noting that there don't appear to *be* any truly open video compression standards. They're *all* patent-encumbered. Google tried with VP8, but it looks like that may infringe patents as well. (It hasn't been settled in court, so it's hard to be sure, but some competitors are making rumblings about suing over it.) _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
