Hi Richard, thats exactly what they did. Now if only would could get a LC and CEF build with that. Do you think it would be a lot of work to add the codec to LC player and a build of CEF to go with it?
I got the licensing documents 2 years ago from MPEG-LA...... and had I started to read them then...I would have just finished. The good part is the MPEG-LA gives you 100,000 licenses free of charge, and after that its also very cheap / user.
