Re: [rtcweb] Sanjay Mishra's choices

["Mishra, Sanjay" <[e-mail]>]

Gili -- There are and can be many possibilities based on the specific use cases that a service provider like my employer may need to support that may not exclude transcoding or possibly dropping to audio only. 

It is a bit early for me to conjecture on choices the working group may end up with to then take the consensus call on but I for one hope the group & chairs pay more credence to a decision that is forward looking and not one where an MTI codec is selected but at the cost of needing plug-ins.

Thanks
Sanjay

So you are saying that if H.264 is not selected as MTI you would rather drop down to audio-only (or do transcoding) than support any other codec?

I know H.264 is your ideal choice, but what option do you favor if that falls through?

H.261 is not a reasonable alternative to H.264; it is an inherently low resolution (CIF) and used for video conferencing over the ISDN lines and is a big step backwards.
