Interesting concept. That said, I don't think the world needs yet another patent-encumbured image format.

- jbob2000 9y agoThe patent will kill it in its tracks. mp3 is dead now because of the patent (well, also because of streaming). The open source community tends to provide a lot of the system-level technology for using things like this and I'd expect them to completely ignore a patented format.
- IAmEveryone 9y agoMP3 was arguably among the most successful format in history, surpassed only by html. If it is dead now, which it isn’t, the patent has nothing to do with that, because it actually just expired. MP3 becoming less important is simply a result of incremental improvements on its fundamental ideas, like AAP.
- CyberDildonics 9y agoI would have to say that jpegs were more successful than mp3s
- fenwick67 9y agoThe MP3 patents expired last year FYI
- InclinedPlane 9y agoThe MP3 format will outlive every single person posting in this thread. Potentially by an order of magnitude.
- hermitdev 9y agoI literally just installed WinAmp about 30 minutes ago to listen to my recovered MP3 collection. If I'm going to beat a dead horse, I'm going to do it while really whipping the llama's ass.
- zokier 9y agoI can't find any references to JPEG-XS patents anywhere. Do you have some more information, or just spreading fud?
- BurningCycles 9y agoI found this: https://encode.ru/threads/2824-JPEG-3000-Anyone?s=79e2301ec533ab5e4c4e994ac04d3f67 https://encode.ru/threads/2824-JPEG-3000-Anyone?s=79e2301ec5... >For High-Throughput JPEG 2000 (that is the official name), we have a desire to make this a royalty free standard. For JPEG XS, there is no such desire. The market - professional broadcasting applications - does not have problems with licensing, so it seems very likely that this standard includes IPs. The license costs in broadcasting are minor compared to the hardware costs and the savings you get from a mezzanine codec.
- exikyut 9y agoThanks very much, this was my curiosity. Okay everybody, JPEG XS is just software for magic boxes. Nothing to see here, implementing it is pointless. Actually wait. Argh. What are the patented bits of the encoding process? Now FOSS has to go add those to the "but we can't come up with this" list. Grr.
- zokier 9y agoThe post that BurningCycles quotes is hardly strong evidence that JPEG-XS is (intentionally) covered by any patents. There is just some random speculation based on "lack of desire to make royalty-free standard", and I'd point out that this comes from someone who is apparently developing a at least somewhat competing standard. While it is not unreasonable to think that there are patents involved, I would want to hear something bit more definite before making any conclusions or assumptions.
