Reverse engineering? Posted Sep 2, 2004 11:14 UTC (Thu) by dvrabel (subscriber, #9500) [Link] Had the driver not been available as a binary (and thus usable by 98% of people) then I suspect that the compression format would have been reverse engineered already.
As an example, Zoran's USBVision chip (ZR36504/ZR36505, formerly NT1003/NT1004), used in some USB TV capture devices, had its compression algorithm reverse engineered by someone reading academic papers on video compression algorithms.
