They seem to be claiming that h.264 is necessary and that they cannot be banned, so then just change to wmv1. Right? I don't get it.really just seems like they wan to do w/e the fuck they want. |
I guess that would also defeat the purpose of having a unified 'standard' for interoperability reasons. As H.264 is a standard and is therefore widely adopted the royalty payments should be less than non-standard payments.
