Who currently licenses Moto's h.264 SEPs for interlaced video?

Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, January 03 2013 @ 10:05 AM EST

Does it matter who? Could be any of these listed here or it could be any or all TV manufacturers that support interlacing. My guess is that they are confidential agreements so unless you work there you're not likely to find out.

Surely what matters is that they are (currently) valid and MS hasn't been paying for them.

Yeah, it's wikipedia, but this page shows that Microsoft started suing Motorola on 01-Oct-10... looks like this case, if I'm not mistaken.

Motorola suing over SEPs seems like a Motorola counter attack from my point of view. You do know what a counter attack is, don't you? Incidentally, this was nothing to do with Google.

Care to remind the crowd when the Google purchase of Motorola was announced? Here's a clue.

Bother to read much before commenting, or are you just trolling?

>>Interlaced h.264 was a stopgap solution when some webcams and video
recorders didn't support progressive scan? Are these still in widespread
use? <<

Yes.
Go take a look at the hideous schizophreny in the camcorder market.
The random luser won't know the difference between 60i or 30p,
but Apple's MacOS apps that import video from cameras
most certainly have to deal with it.
