Open Media Stack: Sun working on an open source video codec for the web

Sun Microsystems has said that they are working on developing an open source video codec and media system.

They are going to provide this technology royalty free.

The company said in a statement: “The main benefit is that you don’t have that now and there are markets, key markets like the Web, that are in need for the Web 2.0 experience a foundation of royalty-free for the media element.”

The project has been named Open Media Stack and it is part of their Open Media Commons initiative for development of royalty-free and open solutions for digital content.

Sun added that this technology would be based on H.26x.
