If you are looking for a reason to celebrate today, the last of the MPEG-4 Part 2 patents expired today.

Shame that no-one uses Xvid any more. We still need to wait a bit longer for H264 (AVC): https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Have_the_patents_for_H.264_MPEG-4_AVC_expired_yet%3F
I mean xvid is pretty bad by modern standards
Crunchy.
H264 is already old news. We be using H265 and AV1 now.
Lots of media centres and TVs still can’t handle those, either cos they’re old or don’t have the processing power to handle them.
Dont worry, I still use xvideos 😉
I’ve still got thousands of old TV shows recorded in xvid.
What effect would this have on the world? Why should we celebrate?
That’s quietly a huge milestone for open media.
