I would be glad if someone could make a clear point or show us to a web page stating the difference between the following video ``standards'': along with: supported OS (decoding/encoding), backward compatibilities, availability of source code, approximate license... Let's talk only about the video part. There may be some fun with the way it's muxed with audio and what kind of audio it is, but let's keep it simple 1- MPEG-4 video (ISO/IEC 14496-2 simple visual profile @L1-L3) 2- an elusive microsoft codec (as source code???) people talked about at the very beginning of all this (with file MPEG-4.asf?): a web pointer? 3- Project Mayo OpenDivX:-) 4- Project Mayo DivX4.0 alpha (= www.divx.com) 5- DivX:-) used in most Windows divx players, this one is certainly also the one avifile accesses thru binaries.zip (e.g. md5sum=99aeecb78c268bcf30f207f0223938e7 divxc32.dll? ) Is there a source code for this one somewhere? Who delivers updates then? 6- Intel Indeo 5.0 7- Microsoft Windows Media Technology 8- Sorensen quicktime codec 9- Other candidates? Very sincerely -- Emmanuel Michon
