![]() does it really matter any more? If you are not using MP4, AVI, MKV, WMV, one of the DVD/blu ray container formats and, in a pinch, quicktime, FLV and webm for general playback use then you have probably screwed up.īack when there were legit uses for real, ogg, legit uses for all the hackjobs on the avi format and all the others. Move into the more open source things like MKV and it only gets worse - a certain technique that is used in the decoding may well infringe upon a patent and it goes downhill from there.Įdit and as for odd formats. This is what led to things like needing a DVD remote to play DVDs on the xbox. There may have been a certain anti piracy element to it (the legitimate uses of MPEG4 decoders not being so many in years past) but more would probably have been certain countries (mainly places with software patents, so the US and variously in Japan) would require licenses to use the decoders.
