Microsoft to open video standard for review | |
|
||
| Time: 04:36 EST/09:36 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Alex Harris | ||

Microsoft said Monday that it will open the specifications for its video compression technology, which would allow other companies to make products based on its technology. The world's largest software maker, which launched its latest video and audio standard Windows Media 9 series in January, said it submitted the standard to the society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) on Monday for review. Acceptance by the international standards body would allow Microsoft's Windows Media 9 to be more easily adopted by other companies since the specifications would be open for all to see. "We really wanted to think of a way for companies to use Windows Media 9 without ever having to contact Microsoft," said Jonathan Usher, Director of Microsoft's Windows digital media division. | ||

Smooth move. I hope this helps their chances with the DVD Forum.
Hardware makers could create digital video cameras that use the technology, for example, he said. I've been waiting for this. |
