[M4IF Technotes] Downloadable standard MPEG test sequences

[Rob Koenen]

Ben,
This is a problem and it has always been one.
Test sequences belong to companies, not to MPEG, and there
was never a clear way of getting a hold of them, and it
is even murkier for which purpose they can be used within
constraints imposed by their owners a long time ago.
To alleviate this problem, M4IF is working with the Technical
University in Munich, who are taking the initiative to shoot, and 
make generally available for use in MPEG and M4IF, a series of 
representative test sequences.
This will not help you for now, though.
If anyone on this list can help Ben get his hands on the sequences
often used in MPEG, then please speak up.
Best,
Rob
