MPEG LA releases MPEG-4 systems license

Written by Petteri Pyyny @ 05 Feb 2003 11:24

MPEG LA, the organization that offers a "one-stop shop" for various MPEG licenses, including the MPEG-2 licenses used in the DVD-Video discs, has finally released a last remaining piece of MPEG-4 standard, the MPEG-4 systems license.

In January, RealNetworks was forced to release its open source media delivery platform, Helix DNA Server, without a MPEG-4 support because the MPEG-4 systems license wasn't available at that time.

MPEG-4 systems license makes it possible for software developers to develop fully-equipped MPEG-4 delivery platforms, including the use of MP4 media wrapper. MPEG-4 systems license includes patents from various companies, such as France Telecom and Apple.

	Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
