[M4IF Discuss] Slashdot discussion of Salon article

[Martin Jacklin]

I might add:
I heard the news that the Advanced Video Coding (AVC) group in DVB are
talking about integrating JVT, which they call "MPEG-4 v3" into "ETSI TR 101
154" - their main MPEG implementation guidelines document. This was said by
Ken McCann of Zetacast (who is the chairman of that group) in Dublin on the
7th March.
MPEG-4 offers more stable periodic and more massive codec upgrades, and
stays open and doesn't bundle stuff you don't need, like DRM and proprietary
codec revision cycles which you will later need to follow closely for it to
work. With MPEG-4 you can take what you want.
