What about Dirac? It's for archive purposes, but still a public domain codec. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_(codec) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_(codec) Furthermore, the insinuation at the end is uncalled for. Calling for cutting funding of public radio/tv is already a political talking point (at least in regards to cutting BBC), so can you imagine the heat they'd catch for trying to develop codecs as well? Edit: removed PBS from list of cutting funding. Forgot they're donation supported.
