  22       <div class="date">15th September 2012</div>
  23       <div class="body"><p>After the
  24 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/IETF_standardize_its_first_multimedia_codec__Opus.html">Opus
  25 codec made</a> it into <a href="http://www.ietf.org/">IETF</a> as
  26 <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6716">RFC 6716</a>, I had a look
  27 to see if there is any activity in IETF to standardise a video codec
  28 too, and I was happy to discover that there is some activity in this
  29 area.  A non-"working group" mailing list
  30 <a href="https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/video-codec">video-codec</a>
  31 was
  32 <a href="http://ietf.10.n7.nabble.com/New-Non-WG-Mailing-List-video-codec-Video-codec-BoF-discussion-list-td119548.html">created 2012-08-20</a>.  It is intended to discuss the topic and if a
  33 formal working group should be formed.</p>
  34
  35 <p>I look forward to see how this plays out.  There is already
  36 <a href="http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/video-codec/current/msg00003.html">an
  37 email from someone</a> in the MPEG group at ISO asking people to
  38 participate in the ISO group.  Given how ISO failed with OOXML and given
  39 that it so far (as far as I can remember) only have produced
  40 multimedia formats requiring royalty payments, I suspect
  41 joining the ISO group would be a complete waste of time, but I am not
  42 involved in any codec work and my opinion will not matter much.</p>
  43
  44 <p>If one of my readers is involved with codec work, I hope she will
  45 join this work to standardise a royalty free video codec within
  46 IETF.</p>
