Aussie screens get a boost as networks embrace HIGH DEFINITION broadcasting

A host of broadcasters — including Seven in Perth, Network 10’s regional arms, and Sky Racing — have quietly flicked the switch to HD, retiring outdated MPEG2 tech in the process.

*Archiviert Musik
*Bisher als Container: MPEG-4 ('.m4a')
*Tags direkt aus Audacity setzbar

Überlegung: freien Container Matroska ('.mka') wie beim Filme-Archiv nutzen? 🤔

*Audacity: schreibt Tags nicht richtig 🙄
*Händisch: erstmal googeln, geht dann aber 🧐
*VLC: zeigts richtig an 🥳
*Musicolet: Whats that?! 🙈

TIL all the patents on Mpeg 4 video expired late last year (Nov 2023).

Until AV1 becomes ubiquitous, I'm glad we now have this fallback format unencumbered by patents and free to use everywhere

Chromebooks are removing support for MPEG4 and AVI in Chromebooks/Chrome-OS:
There is some confusion as it SEEMS that Google is referring to older MPEG4 streams, not current H.264 or H.265 streams in an MPEG container. Google has not provided clear documentation as yet.

@planettimmy @glassbottommeg #H265 / #AVC is contested by two #PatentPools (so it's not like with #H264 / #MPEG4 that you just pay #MPEG LA a fee)...

#AV1 (#VP9 + #Opus) & #WebM (#VP8 + #Vorbis) are the way to go...

@[email protected] BUT if you REALLY NEED IT: Consider using #AV1 (#VP9 + #Opus) or #WebM (#VP8 + #Vorbis) since there are #BSD- & #MPL-licensed reference implementations for those AND they are #RoyalityFree & #PatentFree...

@glassbottommeg even #SourceFilmMaker - AFAIK - doesn't spit out any #H264 / #MPEG4 stream but just plays the settings...
