Tuesday 25 May 2024 - MPEG-4 News Digest week 25, 2003
MPEG-4 News Readers,
Two new members signed up for the MPEG Industry Forum recently, Atmel
<http://www.atmel.com/>  and ContentGuard <http://www.contentguard.com/> .
With the new Fiscal Year starting on July 1st, now is a great time to sign
up for M4IF, to support open standards, to take part in M4IF's work and to
take advantage of our member benefits. Find out why you should
<http://www.m4if.org/m4if/whyjoin.php> join. 
One of the reasons to join may be to support our continuous efforts as a
catalyst in the licensing <http://www.m4if.org/patents>  discussions.
Together with ISMA and IMTC, M4IF recently hosted an information and
discussion meeting on licensing for the upcoming Advanced Video Coding
standard (ITU-T H.264 and MPEG-4 part 10). The open and constructive meeting
was attended by representatives from major potential customers of the
standard, and by a representation from potential licensors. The press
release of the meeting is here
<http://www.m4if.org/public/documents/vault/m4-out-30039.php> , and a
(mostly anonymous) chairman summary of what was said is here
<http://www.m4if.org/030609LAX> . 
M4IF Members: you can now take advantage of the free banner ad when you pay
your membership dues in June or July. Two members already benefit from the
offer.
M4IF has added basic but very useful search capabilities
<http://www.m4if.org/index_search.php>  to its website. You can now search
the entire website or just our list archives.
Kind Regards, 
Rob Koenen
