Hi Sjoerd,
I noticed that you mentioned that you ran into these situations, can you be
more specific about what were the requirements, which codec were considered
and why they were not good for your customers.
This may help with selecting a good codec.
Thanks

There exist codecs that can be widely implemented and easily
distributed, but that are not standardized through any SDO; according
to
reports, this lack of standardization and clear change control has
hindered adoption of such codecs in interactive Internet
applications.

of various usage restrictions (e.g., in the form of requirements to

royalty fees, obtain a license, enter into a business agreement, or
meet
other special conditions imposed by a patent holder) has hindered

As part of my job for an open source consultancy specialising in real-
time
communications i see both of the issues mentioned above occur from time
to
time. As such i'm very exited to see a proposal for an IETF working
group
which addresses these very issues. And therefor i fully endorse the
creation of
this working group and will be eagerly awaiting it results.
