If you are looking for a reason to celebrate today, the last of the MPEG-4 Part 2 patents expired today.

Shame that no-one uses Xvid any more. We still need to wait a bit longer for H264 (AVC): https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Have_the_patents_for_H.264_MPEG-4_AVC_expired_yet%3F
Dont worry, I still use xvideos 😉
I mean xvid is pretty bad by modern standards
Crunchy.
So many xvid torrents… there probably still are.
I’ve still got thousands of old TV shows recorded in xvid.
H264 is already old news. We be using H265 and AV1 now.
Lots of media centres and TVs still can’t handle those, either cos they’re old or don’t have the processing power to handle them.
