Talk:MPEG LA

message: Isn't it a bit weird that there's almost nothing here on MPEG-LA, one of the most important and controversial players behind the current video crisis codec, and moreover that its importance is ranked low?  (See , for example.)  I'm not a Wikipedia editor, but I think that this should be a "high" class importance article in some video/film related category. 76.100.172.199 (talk) 01:34, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Importance

message: In the light of the ongoing discussion on AVC/H.264 and Flash I would find it helpful to see some (if not all) of the MPEG LA licensors (Apple Inc., Microsoft Corporation...) in this article (see AVC/H.264 Licensors).

message: What does MPEG LA stand for? I can't seem to find anything on the MPEG LA web site, or any other ref that would clear this up.--Gyrobo (talk) 20:12, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, that's a let-down. I thought it would be something cool. And we can't even use that in the article because it hasn't been published.--Gyrobo (talk) 21:36, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  DOJ Anti-trust Investigation 

message: When my son's great-grandchildren read history of the birth of the global network, and its many forms of communication, what will it say was the reason this group got together?  Was it to gather royalties to pay tribute to the creators of the video-enabling parts? Was it to exact a massive fee upon the world by applying patent law to logical extensions of existing ideas? Was it to enable open global communication with the highest odds of compatibility by suppressing competition with this standard by implementations that were more advanced in one aspect but incomplete in another? This article seems to have little of such content. How come? Zaphraud (talk) 16:14, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: As I understand it, it was to license codecs and technologies developed by the Moving Pictures Experts Group. When Panasonic wanted to make a DVD player they'd pay the MPEG LA for the license to use an MPEG-2 decoder. It was the body established to legally own what the MPEG produced.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hey, I don't know if anyone noticed, but a couple days ago someone changed the whole page and now it reads like total marketing speak. I am interested in contributing to improving the wording and content of the article, but I'd appreciate some guidance on best practices so I can get things right the first time.
Also I don't know if there's anything specific that ought to be done in response to this change, on a bigger picture scale. Zirka (talk) 01:27, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
