Frage von Steele:
Hello,
I am now looking for weeks for clear statements, but so far could give me the ninth.
If one commercial films, offering clips for download like the material must be based on MPEG4 encoded according mpegla.com you have a license and tolls. Pay fees.
Like the look but if you made on a commercial site to download clips with the MPEG2 or MPEG1 offers were coded?
Do we even have a license for MPEG1?
Thank you!
Markus
Antwort von tinkoul:
I thought for mpeg-1 you need to pay nothing, and synonymous for mpeg-2, since the patent has expired.
Antwort von Wiener65:
that would be of interest to me synonymous. pay license fees for which codecs you have a commercial provider?
also, we have not done any thoughts.

License fees> for what codecs you have to pay a commercial provider?
asks the question but once the people of MainConcept.
As a codec developer know definitely.
Antwort von Andreas_Kiel:
That was the same as before with the GIF patent, should be paid at once and suddenly the picture was not a freeware GIF any more. In the low range GIF synonymous disappeared for a while, the Manufacturer would save the license cost. Only the truly great paid and did next.
At that time the end user was out but in any case. That was all in the purchase price of the software with in it. Here is the (surprisingly) quite different.
MPEG-2 is
still under patent (according mpegla.com). And a look at the website shows (emphasis of me) that actually synonymous therefor incurred - such as for MPEG-4 - Fees
(5) For MPEG-2 Packaged Media, the royalty is U.S. $ 0.03 from March 1, 2003 / $ 0035 from September 1, 2001 to March 1, 2003 / $ 0.04 before September 1, 2001 for the first MPEG-2 Video Event, plus $ 0.01 for each additional 30 minutes or portions recorded on the same copy, but not to exceed (s.US $ 0.03 from March 1, 2003 / $ 0035 from September 1, 2001 to March 1, 2003 / $ 0.04 before September 1, 2001 for a single movie (b) U.S. $ 0.02 for the second movie recorded on the same copy s.the first movie, and (c) U.S. $ 0.01 for each copy having a normal playing time up to and including but not more than 12 minutes of video programming encoded into s.MPEG-2 compliant format (sections 2.4 and 3.1.6-3.1.8). "MPEG-2 Video Event" (Section 1.28) is a unit of video information having a normal playing time of any length up to and including 133 minutes, and "Movie" (Section 1.10) is a single motion picture and related materials but not a second motion picture Whether or not related. (Note: There is also s.alternative which applies only to MPEG-2 Packaged Medium that complies with DVD Specifications for Read-Only Disc version 1.01 instead of that provided in Sections 2.4 and 3.1.6-3.1.8 of the License: U.S. $ 0.03 from March 1, 2003 / $ 0035 from September 1, 2001 to March 1, 2003 / $ 0.04 before September 1, 2001 per disc having a single layer encoded, U.S. $ 0.06 per disc encoded having two layers, plus U.S. $ 0.02 per disc for each encoded layer more than two but not to exceed U.S. $ 0.03 from March 1, 2003 / $ 0035 from September 1, 2001 to March 1, 2003 / $ 0.04 before September 1, 2001 for a single movie.) From this chaos, I understand only one thing: he who sells an MPEG-2-encoded video, must pay. In that way it had once meant all the DVDs, and of course, synonymous to MiniDV tapes, was played on the HDV ...
Beautiful is dat nich!
