ENCODING

Just as authoring software for Web page authoring is free, so should video encoding, said Philippe Le Hegaret, Architect Domain Leader at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3) headed by Tim Berners-Lee. Video encoding, the essential process in which video is compressed and converted for the Web, is a patented process controlled by Adobe, Microsoft, ON2 and others. These companies and industry associations license software called codecs, to be used in various formats including Flash, H.264, WMV.
