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 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!!!!! :-)

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

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

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.

I wonder what you based your comments on, from what I've seen of OS4 it's very very good.

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!
