I doubt it was money. Skype could afford vp7 but macromedia couldnt? Actually I think macromedia (at the time) on the list said that the license with On2 allowed them to have all of the on2 technology.
I think the issue was that vp7 came out after the software integration work with the player and vp6 had already begun. And as I recollect it would not have been easy to switch to vp7 because it worked differently and they had a deadline. Regards, Hank O On 10/3/06, Guy McLoughlin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Macromedia evaluated a number of video CODECs before settling on the On2 VP6 CODEC. I suspect that the main reason they didn't go with VP7 ( which was available at the time ) was simply the licensing cost, On2 likely wanted a lot more money to license their state of the art CODEC. - Guy -------------------------- Guy McLoughlin New Media Developer Toronto Ontario Canada E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------- _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
