You are talking about a recent development.

May I remind you of realaudio, indeo, cinepak, etc.? Videos of this time (1990s) were generally too crappy to remember, but a lot of actually useful audio recordings are still locked up in RA format.

Didn't Real Audio eventually release an Open Source version of their player?

The Fury3 game CD has videos in Cinepak format, and today's MPlayer still recognizes and plays them.
