There appears to be some confusion about codec specific patents and general video coding patents so let me try to clarify: Both H.264 and VP8 specification describe the DECODER, specifically the format and order of the data in the bitstream. What does that mean? It means that for each macroblock there will be information indicating the block type, the motion vectors, the quantizer, the residual, etc. What the specification does not say is HOW you decide what block type to use, what motion vector to use, what quantizer to use, etc. A license from mpeg-la and presumably from google will protect you when implementing anything described in the decoder specification. It will not protect you from the HOW. So if you think of a really simple motion estimate engine where you search every possible location in the reference frame to find the best match using SAD as a block matching algorithm…guess what? There’s a patent for that. If you then decide that if there isn’t a really good match (high SAD), and you decide to do an intra search instead…guess what? There’s a patent for that. Your mpeg-la license (and I’m willing to bet vp8 also) won’t protect you if you happen to infringe on those. I’m not trying to scare everyone but to argue that H.261 is somehow going to protect you from patent infringement is completely without merit. Something else to keep in mind, many of you are aware that apple recently lost a patent infringement suit from VimetX regarding p2p calling with facetime. What they are doing isn’t all to different than a p2p using a stun server. My point here is we should be focusing on choosing the best technology and come up with a solution for dealing with patent trolls at some other level because it’s going to be a wide spread concern, not just a video problem.
