Fluendo announces Windows Media and MPEG codec support for LinuxFluendo announces Windows Media and MPEG codec support for LinuxPosted Jan 17, 2007 0:48 UTC (Wed) by Arker (guest, #14205)In reply to: Fluendo announces Windows Media and MPEG codec support for Linux by drag Parent article: Fluendo announces Windows Media and MPEG codec support for Linux
If this were what was going on (and it's not) it would be a bad thing.
Windows and Mac users can easily get support for free codecs. If that support isn't quite as 'brain-dead easy' as it is for them to stick with proprietary codecs, that would be because there isn't enough demand. 'Content creators' using free software codecs is the only thing that will improve the situation. Using proprietary codecs to encode instead, for the short-term convenience of customers on proprietary platforms, merely results in the continuation of the lack of demand for free codecs on those platforms.
