> Handy for those four people left who want to author DVDs, but this is extremely light on details. MPEG-2 is also used in broadcast television standards, so those of us playing with QAM modulators for home or business internal cable TV networks have to deal with it if we want our channels to be tunable by standard TVs. These days a lot of TVs understand H.264 or H.265 but whether they'll accept it from their OTA/cable tuner or if they reject anything other than standard MPEG2 is up in the air, and of course anything old enough to not have streaming support has no reason to know any newer codecs. Agreed otherwise, I'm curious what the purpose is when we already have libavcodec under the same license and also what's going on with the links.
