As a result, the heaters were able to keep internal temperatures above minus 40 degrees Celsius (which is also minus 40 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale).
Have they tried overclocking?
H.264 has additional license fees for professional use. Yes, most people ignore that.
Upon further investigation, I discovered http://www.mpegla.com/Lists/MPEG%20LA%20News%20List/Attachments/226/n-10-02-02.pdf
Which states, in part:
"MPEG LA announced today that its AVC Patent Portfolio License will continue not to charge royalties for Internet Video that is free to end users (known as Internet Broadcast AVC Video) during the next License term from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2015. Products and services other than Internet Broadcast AVC Video continue to be royalty-bearing, and royalties to apply during the next term will be announced before the end of 2010."
Therefore, the statement in the grandparent comment is incorrect.
in fact, you won't have to pay anything as the hardware decoder is already paid for by the hardware manufacturer, and you don't owe anything for encoding the video, look it up
I will make my videos free to end users, so at this time I will not need to pay any fees. However, if I had planned on charging for access to the videos, I may have gotten into some trouble if I had not read your comment. Thank you.
I've been writing many stupid posts recently.
If you see such a post, please don't hesitate. Mod me down.
Modding me down will help to tame me and make me a better person.
...but I hope that I can learn to write drivers for hardware (never needed in Windows)...
You won't need to in a modern Linux distro either (unless you want to). Hardware support is generally very good. You'll find that 99% of the drivers you need are already in the kernel and work out of the box.
