I wonder if this would have any impact on the H.264 patent? I suspect it would still apply to hardware implementations of the codec.

- mmastrac 17y agoYeah, although hardware acceleration implementations would be paid-up in the per-unit costs when the hardware ships (at least AFAIK), making it effectively invisible to the end-users and developers. I think this would be sufficient to push H.264 as the HTML5 video standard across the board.
- pmjordan 17y agoDepends how high the license fees are. Something like $10 on a budget graphics card or low-end cellphone would be very significant.
