- ZeroGravitas 16y agoThere's an implicit "yet" in my sentence that I should probably have put in. As in, the MPEG(-LA) plans for H.265 to be widely supported (by hardware manufacturers, pirates, and everyone else) and plan to charge royalty fees on it. But widespread use of VP8 and a credible threat from VP9 (or 10) could force them to choose between making money and being the defacto standard.
