Arthur,

I used to work on DVD software, so I am intimately familiar with MPEG compression/decompression and the standards and companies involved.

MPEG4 is an OPEN standard, and Quicktime is the chosen file format.

I guess the ISO must have not realized that NCT had an exclusive right to MPEG4 technology when they opened up the MPEG4 streaming file format to ANY developer:

sun.com

"MPEG's decision to utilize the QuickTime file
format for the MPEG-4 specification has huge
benefits for users and the industry", said Ralph
Rogers, Principal Analyst for Multimedia at
Dataquest, San Jose. "This strategy will leverage
the broad adoption of QuickTime in the
professional media space, speed the creation of
MPEG-4 tools and content while providing a
common target for industry adoption."

Please explain to be how ISO will achieve broad acceptance if NCT has exclusive rights to the technology.

Please site another ISO standard that a small OTC BB company has exclusive rights to.

Strange that I DON'T see NCT mentioned on any MPEG4 page. Care to explain why? Shouldn't the exclusive owner at least be mentioned?

Hmmmm...why does the MPEG4 FAQ say source is available freely to ANY member?

drogo.cselt.stet.it

What you must remember is that NCT as a Company is only a few months old.

Please explain why the MPEG committee would give exclusive rights to the most important compression technology in the next few years to any unknown company with no track record?
