The MPEG-LA Consortium, which manages the rights of H.264, cease to pay royalties to free sites that use its format.
Backing for the MPEG-LA Consortium. The organization that manages the rights of the H.264 video compression format had to pay royalties this year to sites using this codec. In early 2010, she gave a breath of fresh air to developers free of extending this format until December 31, 2015. But in a statement dated 26 August it was finally announced that the licenses issued to video services free to end users would be free beyond the deadline. Exit royalties.
Google messes up the rules
The websites have opted for this format supported by HTML 5 feared having to pay prohibitive charges. But in the meantime Google has opened all its own codec.
Webm, which brings VP8 compression formats for video and Vorbis for audio, is released under free license. Offering benefits nearly identical to H.264, the codec open source Google would soon attract a large number of Web services. Especially since he has the support of Mozilla, unlike H.264.
Attention free licenses only for the free distribution of videos. The boxes, Blu-ray, games consoles, cameras, etc.. that integrate this compression format will continue to incur charges for using the patented codec. Like ... What browsers leave open the debate Webm cons H264.
