[M4IF Discuss] Names / Part 10

[William J. Fulco]

Let's agree to call it "AVC 264 Part 10.L" :-)
> [SNIP]

> Don't forget H.264.

> [SNIP]

> People from MPEG generally will call it
> JVT, MPEG-4 Part 10, or AVC

> [SNIP]

> while ITU people generally use
> H.26L, JVT or AVC.

> [SNIP]

> I suppose the real name is AVC and each organization will adopt the
> standard as they see fit. For example MPEG-2 is also known as H.262.
> 
> Seems like "MPEG-4 part 10" is being used commonly -- why it can't 
> just be MPEG-10 I don't know, that seems easier to remember.
