It's all about the licensing
It may come down to what Hollywood is willing to pay.
What licensing structure is there for h.264 content and players? -Les |

2 cents per title if delivered on physical media and is greater than 12 minutes in length.
20 cents per encoder/decoder unit sold over 100,000, that has some sort of creeping price cap which is laid out until 2010 (what happens after 2010?) http://www.mpegla.com/news/n_03-11-17_avc.html That's 2 cents more for distribution than Windows Media, but 5 cents less per encoder/decoder http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...licensing.aspx Apparently the licensing scheme that Microsoft has for MPEG4 on the above web site is not AVC MPEG4 |
