[M4IF Discuss] On2 and IPR

[William J. Fulco]

RE: [M4IF Discuss] On2 and IPROliver,
You'd be truly amazed how much 1980s technology STILL works and is useful
for video-compression (speaking as someone that just loves to troll around
the UCLA Engineering Library stacks for fun :-)  Think of it this way -
there were techniques developed for research-situations back in the 70s and
80s that needed very special-purpose hardware in those days...  things that
today can be done on a simple microprocessor in software...  don't give
"1982 video compression technology" the short shrift so quickly :-)
 Granted - most technologies (unless military) weren't talking 0.10bpp back
then - but, really - wouldn't you be just as happy with a 0.3bpp that gave
you good quality and could be encoded and decoded (today) in software :-)

  People have been working in the area of video coding for decades. So,
unless one wants to use state-of-the-art compression technology of 1982 for
his products, he will have to deal with patents.
