At its meeting held in Tokyo last month, the DVD Forum Steering Committee provisionally approved making support for MPEG2, Windows Media 9, and MPEG4 video CODECs mandatory in the High Definition DVD Video specification for playback devices. The "provisional" decision remains subject to findings regarding licensing terms and conditions, a presentation by each of the respective licensing bodies at the next...
Steering Committee meeting, and possible elimination of any of the tentatively selected CODECs at the next Steering Committee meeting.
