Cloanto announced today that it entered into a licensing agreement with MPEG LA, LLC to use MPEG-4 Visual technology, and with Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. and Microsoft Corporation to use HighMAT technology in its products.
Cloanto plans to use MPEG-4 to produce high quality cross-platform encodings of a new series of Amiga Forever videos, and HighMAT for quick access and indexing of such video files on the next version of the Amiga Forever CD-ROM.
The growing list of third-party items already licensed for use in Amiga Forever includes the portfolio of Amiga patents, copyrights and trademarks, technology such as GIF/LZW by Unisys Corporation (used in Cloanto's Personal Paint) and hundreds of contributions such as Amiga applications and other items of historical interest.

Cloanto Licenses MPEG-4, HighMAT Technologies : Comment 1 of 19 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Clownface on 13-Jan-2004 02:29 GMT | Cloanto friends, it is so nice to see the kind of development you are doing. I really hope you are NOT selling out to the OS4/AmigaOne bandwagon! These guys are total fakes and do not deserve any kind of support from talented people such as yourselves.
And I find it strange that you would license MPEG-4 just for a few video files, certainly you must have other developments in mind for this technology license? Please say it is so!!!!! :-) |

MPEG-4 will be a welcome splash of high-quality-porn coming from inside my Amiga!

I think it was absolutely uncalled for, and very rude. It's up to them which platform or platforms they are supporting. |

I'd like to know in what way they are 'selling out'? and in what way
its a 'bandwagon'. if you could clarify your unqualified statements in some way it'd be far more informative than useless trolling |

Posted by XraalE on 13-Jan-2004 23:54 GMT | In reply to Comment 1 (Clownface): You could be right, but let Cloanto judge that for themselves. I have full confidence that once they discover what they've got themselves into, they'll drop OS4 like a cheeseburger where the unusually rubbery cheese has "DUREX Large" written on it. |

It's so *over*.
With AmigaInc's "BAF's only" policy, OS4 is simply for BAF's now. |

I didn't say they were 'selling out' I only said that I hoped they would not.
'Bandwagon' is american slang, it means following along with something because it appears good but does not make good business sense. |

Remember that those guys still *own* the kickstarts' Cloanto ships inside Amiga Forever. So, your hopes are vain. GO AMIGA!
