The whole issue of which Profile and levels one might support for these codecs is another issue as I think they lead to differing IPR dependencies.

It's OK if this isn't the best possible codec.

While it is not as IPR-safe a choice as H.261, it is relatively mature and the known challenges have generally failed. Implementations are reasonably available and should make it possible for smaller implementers, students, and hobbyists to play ball. It's not all that network efficient and is outright piggy at higher resolutions, but it probably works "well enough to use." > > So I propose we set H.263 as the baseline ( I expect a bit of profiling may be necessary to further qualify the baseline) and run with that for now.
