[M4IF Technotes] Complete list of Profiles anywhere

[Gary Sullivan]

Ben et al,
That MPEG-4 Overview is a little out of date.  I'm pretty sure we
produced an improved one in Singapore, but I guess the new one hasn't
made it to that web site yet.  In particular the old one lists some
things in section 4.1 that have been finished for a while.  The latest
video profiles and levels that were finalized and approved earlier this
year include the Studio profile, the Fine Granularity Scalability
profile, the Advanced Simple Profile, and Level 0 of the Simple profile.
(At least those are the ones I recall off the top of my head.)
Yes, new work is in progress for the future.  See
the press release of the Sydney meeting:
http://mpeg.telecomitalialab.com/sydney/sydney_press.htm.
There are three areas of new work that come to my mind:
1) A new video coding project for improved compression quality
   that may be developed jointly with ITU-T
2) Digital Cinema work, starting initially with comparisons to the
   MPEG-4 Studio Profile
3) A new amendment to MPEG-4 visual adding some relatively small new
features
   (new levels of existing profiles and an alpha channel for VTC).
Best Regards,
Gary Sullivan

    I know some others have been considered for digital cinema or such.
Any
of them approved, or close to it?  Listed anywhere?
