[M4IF Technotes] Beware

[Brian Dipert]

Umm...David. I also used the University of Hannover/MPEG-4 test sequences in
my video compression hands-on project, due to go live Thursday morning at
www.edn.com (any and all feedback welcomed). Leonardo Chiariglione (yes,
THAT Leonardo) from the MPEG standards group was VERY emphatic (Rob'll back
me up on this) that I NOT post either the original YUVs or any lossless- or
even lossy-compressed variants of them to a public website, since (as you
point out on your http://index.apple.com/~singer/sequences/testseq.html
website) they're copyright-protected. Note that the area of the Hannover FTP
site where the originals reside is password-protected; only for use by MPEG
members. Just thought I'd let you know that an angry Italian may soon be
headed your way. Conversely, if you secure permission rights......please let
me know, as I'd like to post my stuff too!
