I suppose it could be possible to patent something and let the patent expire so that it is registered at the patent office but not enforcable. No one else could patent it then. I get curious about the RLE patent. I heard Someone has a patent on run length encoding and I wonder how long they have had it because I remember RLE code running on a sinclair spectrum in the 80's before the whole

AFAIK g729 patent is expiring sometime in 2019-2020.

Looks like the mpeg gestapo are frantically at work cracking down on mpeg projects. Several important projects (tsunami mpeg, gogo, faac, etc) were shut down by the jack booted patent nazis. Since FhG, mpegla, etc plan to start charging royalties on everything even remotely mpeg-related very soon, I expect a lot of interest is going to shift to Vorbis. And soon thereafter, I expect FhG to attack

Hey. I'm not sure if this should be here or on -dev, so I'll try here first. I was wondering, would it be possible to have a real-time streaming feed, where you were encoding at the same time, given a sufficiently large computer to do the encoding? I'm thinking about news-wire applications, like if the BBC wanted to use it to stream their World News Wire, at the same time that

I've been encoding my CD collection with mostely great results. However, there is the oddball that doesn't sound as it should (mostely I get flanging effects on high-frequency sounds like cymbals). I've seen people upload samples and post it here so that the developers might have a look at them. Now I don't have any online space. Is there an ftp site or something I can upload

Hi everyone, first of all, I searched through the archives for any posts resembling this, I didn't read all posts about the patents so if this has been suggested before I apologise. I read in an article on C|Net (I think, it was linked from Slashdot anyway) that Thompson are threatening to sue you if Ogg Vorbis becomes a success. Which is evil, and I'm also mad at them because they never

Does the reason Theora is relatively safe from patent infringement lawsuit have more to do with it actually not being encumbered, or is it because its use is decentralized? For example, FreeType is not patent-free, nor is Linux, yet they succeed because on the one hand, they are open source, and those who maintain them do not guarantee anything regarding patents, it is up to each individual user

Sorry for starting another topic, this is actually a reply to Segher's post on Sun Oct 22 on the 'mdct question' topic. I wasn't subscribed properly and so I didn't get email confirmation and thus can't add to that thread. So Segher, if the equation is indeed what you say it is, then replacing mdct_backward with this version should work, but it doesn't. Am I applying

Hi, We are in the business of developing/productizing Multimedia codecs for embedded systems. Recently, Vorbis has gained good popularity. We are also developing it. But we face few problems related to patents. Vorbis claims to be patent free. Is there any particular search made for possible patent infringements and corresponding report published? We need to convince our customers sometime

Hi all, <p>i have readed all the realy sad stuff about software patents in europe and what allread exists. There is one side related to speex and i dont know if this is allready discussed here. Take a look at: http://swpat.ffii.org/patents/effects/voip/index.en.html Is speex realy petant free or does patent free only means that is is not patent by the speex authors? Who have checked that

Hi everybody, As the Asterisk community is getting larger and larger, I was wondering that the features which are provided in Asterisk and are programmed by the open source community under GPL, or GUIs like FreePBX which also come loaded with wonderful features and uses same Asterisk, are they anywhere violating any patent laws? Most of the features work the same way as Nortel, Avaya and other

(hello all, this is my first writing. so please bear with me if I'm wrong anywhere.) orry to break too lately, but how is the RTP payload submission is going? could we see the new payload at March IETF? I agree that it would be fairy straightforward to make an RTP payload for ogg vorbis, assuming raw packets, AFAIK. using physical bitstream is, in this case, not adequate by the reasons in

alpha. (that about sums it up) Will encode and play back via an sdp file and multicast on one computer (over the net if you transfer the sdp file over by hand). rc/rtenc3 and src/rtdec3 are in the style of encoder/decoder_example ...so this means you MUST edit it them to suit your system. For example, I specify my rtenc3 to multicast just on eth1 (to avoid pissing off my cable supplier on

I'm a mathematician and programmer working on experimental surround sound techniques. Some of the ideas I'm working on require dozens of channels. These channels are often highly correlated and are very well suited to compression. I'm new to Vorbis. Does it attempt to address such issues?

Dear all, I just know that Sisvel (http://www.sisvel.com) claims patent on MP3 and starting charging fee on MP3 encoding/decoding (http://www.audiompeg.com). I take a look on its patent claims and it seems that they are very board. I wonder if vorbis would be affected by them.
