Even if it the choice is to choose proprietary stuff, I feel it should be the end user's prerogative. If there's only one format then no doubt I am forcing on the users and restricting their freedom. Also, till the proprietary "stuff" vendors support open formats, sharing is a problem. And let's say there are 2 or more open formats, so one more thing to configure, one more step away from popularity. Till you get users you won't get acceptance. Anyways, those are just my thoughts. now some "requirement" problems: 1. Like mentioned before conversion of media and large files is an issue. 2. Space problems - how do you tackle the rm(vb) format? > Prashant Mathur > MCA 2nd Year. > Krishna Engg.
