Hm, I don't know which country you live on, but you must not watch DVDs, Blu-Ray, terrestrial television, cable, satellite, the Internet or Netflix there. - DVD: MPEG-2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvd#DVD_Video) - Blu Ray: MPEG-2, H.264 or Microsoft's VC-1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Blu-ray_Disc#Video) - DVB-T: MPEG-2, H.264 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB- T#Basics_of_DVB-T) - DVB-T2: MPEG-2, H.264 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-T2#History) - DVB-C/C2: MPEG-2, H.264 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-C) - DVB-S: MPEG-2, H.264 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-S) - DVB-S2: MPEG-2, H.264 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB- S2#Main_features) - Flash Video: Sorenson, VP6, H.264 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Flash_video#Codec_support), - Silverlight: H.264, VC-1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Silverlight#Silverlight_2) - Netflix: Microsoft's VC-1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Netflix#Internet_streaming) 26% of all web video is now available for playback in HTML5 using H. 264 (was 10% in January 2010) and about 66% of all web video is H.264 (see the two studies linked here: http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/05/ipad-may-be-pushing-160-increase-in-h264-video-online.ars). You can debate the exact numbers, but I'd be hard-pressed to declare anything but the rule of proprietary video codecs on the Internet (or on your TV set). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
