[MacDV] MS video codec

[Ronald Woodland]

Thank you for saying what I feel, too.

Someone in this discussion thread suggested MPEG-4 for web streaming, 
except the Windows Media Player doesn't support it.  I wonder how MS 
will try to "embrace and extend" H.264 in their proprietary favor.  
It's only a matter of time before the market fragments over this new 
codec.  Heaven forbid Window Media Player would ever support an actual 
standard without having a hidden agenda.

I'm done ranting now.

My thoughts exactly.
    For uploading and eventual web delivery MPeg4 is nice and easy.
