QUOTE (spoon @ Sep 15 2006, 22:57)  >I believe they (Nero) have a blanket MPEG 4 patent license, and wrote the AAC code and MPEG video There is an upper cap for MPEG 4 royalties of $250,000, this allows Apple and Nero to effectively give encoders away for 'free'. Is that per year, or so long as they make a once off $250,000 payment then they never have to pay for MPEG4 royalties again? -------------------- www.petitiononline.com/RHCPWBCD/petition.html

It is per year.

QUOTE (eofor @ Aug 19 2006, 12:44) If Apple are really serious about the iPhone they're going to have to support HE-AAC pretty soon for 3gpp support. Quoting myself here - with the iPhone due in Q2, that would mean HE-AAC in Leopard/QT8/iTunes8 then? |

I'd say it's likely HE-AAC is making its way to iTunes/iPod. Even without the iPhone there is a growing need because iTunes is losing more and more radiostations that switch to streaming with HE-AAC.

Quoting myself here - with the iPhone due in Q2, that would mean HE-AAC in Leopard/QT8/iTunes8 then? I really doubt it. HE-AAC support would be nice since the iPhone has capacities of 4GB and 8GB but I doubt Apple will add HE-AAC support. If they haven't already done it for the iPod mini, 1G iPod shuffle, 1G iPod nano, 2G iPod shuffle, or 2G iPod nano users, then I doubt Apple will ever add HE-AAC support. If the iPhone was 1GB or less then I can see the necessity of using this format. I guess it is harder for them to justify HE-AAC support (and the ability to encode to HE-AAC) when their iPhone supports 4GB (~1000 songs at 128kbps AAC) and 8GB (~2000 songs at 128kbps AAC). |

I guess we all know by now that QT doesn't play FLAC files under Leopard, either.
What a surprise... |

Which gets all the more absurd as anno 2007, every $30 mobile phone now plays HE-AAC (as it's in the 3GP mobile video standard) while the most expensive phone on the market cannot play it. I guess Apple sent the whole Quicktime team on holiday in 2004, the last major improvement in Quicktime (H.264 support) was added with Panther. |
