Sun Developing Open Media Stack

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the shine-it-up-and-call-it-new dept.

Graftweed writes to share that Sun is working on a new open video codec called Open Media Stack (OMS). OMS video will be based on H.26x technology and promises to deliver royalty-free open video. This certainly isn't the first attempt at an open codec, hopefully Sun will decide to add something to the table beyond just their name.
